I’ve seen many versions of the Autism Card on the internets. Some parents actually hand these out to people. For those who don’t realize, a common theme in the lives of parents of children on the autism spectrum is to take our kids in public, I know, gasp, and receive a very inviting welcome from the strangers of the world. By inviting welcome, I mean a bunch of dirty looks, criticism on our parenting skills, criticism of our children, and basic asshattery.
You can read one of my previous posts about that: Dear Dr. Phil Wannabes of Walmart.
I don’t think people who intervene in that manner are ignorant of autism. I think they are mean people. They are just assholes. Think about it. Your kid is freaking out. You are almost in tears, kneeling down trying to tame your child while watching and handling the other kids. You obviously have things to do that is being interrupted with all this. Everyone is upset. Who the fuck approaches people in that kind of emotionally charged situation to insult people? That’s not a dumbass. That’s a total asshole. That’s a bully. They targeted you because you are having a weak moment.
I’d rather just scream at them really loudly something random for everyone to hear and be like “What the fuck did they just say to you?” Here’s a list of some things I got for now, for the assholes who want to tell you how to parent. This is for the guy who says, “Control your kids.” Use them wisely because you never know when karma is going to strike back, or how it will….
