I'm baffled. I'm rendered speechless by the amount of offensive nonsense that has been written into this article.

@bold: So the main argument here seems that a character CANNOT be complex, that he/she CANNOT change or GROW with time and that they CANNOT possibly contradict themselves. Because, of course, we as human beings, NEVER do anything complex or contradicting, still like what we did when we were two years old and have never grown out of anything or changed personality preference. Well then.

P.S. And also that we cannot find happiness in small things - that a small smile or a simple hug will NOT spread happiness. Good to know! *nods*



Autistic individuals are not senile! They are not "retards". And they are definitely not mentally-incapable of thoughts or feelings. They can UNDERSTAND, they can FEEL and they can THINK. Some are smarter than "normal" human beings with heightened intelligence. What they can't do is PROCESS all their emotions in the SAME way as the rest of us so called "normal" individuals - their crime is that their inadequacies are vivid enough to be visible to people (like the esteemed author here) while the rest of us can go on feigning perfection in silence. And that makes people think that THAT is in someway a sign of autistic individuals LACKING intelligence. SUCH a pathetic argument this was! So bloody inappropriate and offensive!

@blue: Lol.. Glaring? Okay then.. 🤣

lol yeah you guys, every thing has to be PLASTIC and IN-YOU-FACE these days to be considered "real" because apparently the viewers are incapable of understanding subtlety. I guess she wants to literally see a card of spades to call it a spade. 😳

@red: I won't even begin to talk about just how absolutely OFFENSIVE this crap is. A couple of suggestions for the author though.. 1. Look up the definition of "autistic" and see if "retarded" makes the cut for synonyms. 2. Look up the definition of "normal" and see if it's synonymous with "douche". 3. Learn to be more responsible and show more respect to your position as a journalist.

Disgusting.
