OT, I am autism

...question: is there also in the US a tendency to 'romanticize'

autism? Like 'they're so smart and they are such little geniuses, but

they are a bit strange in handling situations'?

My Name is Autism

Written By: Omri Fiman/Marty

Hello. Allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is

autism. Perhaps you know me or know of me. I am a

condition, a " disorder " that affects many people. I

strike at will, when and where I want. Unlike Downs

Syndrome or other birth " defects " , I leave no marks on

those I strike. In fact, I pride myself on the ability

to infiltrate a child's life, while leaving him or her

strikingly handsome. Many people may not even know I

am there. They blame the child for what I cause him

or her to do. I am autism and I do as I please.

I am autism. I strike boys and girls. infants and

toddlers. I find my best victims to be boys around the

age of 2, but any child will do. I like children and

they are always the true victims, though I take

hostage the others in the child's family as well. It

is a bit like getting 2 for the price of one. I affect

one child and " infect " the entire family.

I am autism. I strike rich and poor alike. The rich

combat me with education and therapy. The poor shut

their children away and cannot afford to fight me. I

am able to win in the lives of poor children more than

I am those of the wealthy, but I will try to take root

anywhere.

I am autism. I am an equal opportunity disorder. I

strike whites, blacks, Mexicans, Ukrainians, Russians,

Poles, Slavs, Japanese, Koreans and Fins. In fact, I

strike everywhere on Earth. I know no geographical

bounds.

I am autism. I do not discriminate based upon religion

either. I strike Jews and Christians, Muslims and

Buddhists, Atheists and Agnostics. I do not care what

religion a person is or what beliefs he may hold. When

I strike, there will be little time for any of

that anyway. When they find me, they will question

everything they believe in, so why would I strike only

one group? I have affected followers of every religion

on the planet.

I am autism and I am strong and getting stronger every

year, every month, every day, every minute and every

second. I am concerned that money might be allotted to

combat me and my takeover of children, but so far, I

have little to fear. Some countries like Kuwait, are

spending quite a bit of money to assist those who I

have targeted and some, like the United States, would

rather spend money on such ludicrous things as

discovering the number of American Indians who

practice Voodoo, as opposed to combating me. In an

atmosphere such as that, I can flourish and wreck

havoc at will. In places such as that, I rub my hands

with glee at the problems I can cause to children,

their families and to the society at large.

I am autism. When I come, I come to stay. I take the

dreams and hopes of families and trample them with

delight. I see the fear and confusion in the eyes of

my victims and the see the formation of wrinkles, the

worries and pain on the face of their parents. I see

the embarrassment their child causes because of me and

the parents unsuccessful attempt to hide their child,

and me. I see tears the parents cry and feel the tears

of their child. I am autism. I leave sorrow in my

wake.

I am autism. I taketh away and give nothing but

bewilderment and loathing in return. I take speech and

learning. I take socialization and understanding. I

take away " common sense " and, if I am allowed to

flourish, I take away all but their physical life.

What I leave behind, is almost worse than death.

I am autism. I fear nothing except courage, which I

thankfully see little of. I fear those who take a

stand against me and attempt to fight me and bring

others into the fight as well. I fear those who try to

make it safe and easier for my victims in the

community, and their families. I fear those who push

ahead, despite the fact that I am in tow. I fear the

day I will be eradicated from the planet. Yet, I do

not fear too much right now. There is no need.

I am autism and I bet you know me or know of me. If

you don't, you probably will soon. I am marching

forward faster than I ever have before. I am looking

for new children all the time. I am looking for new

children to consume and new lives to destroy. I dread

the day I will be looked upon with pity or worse yet,

understanding, for that day, is the day I will begin

to die.

But in the mean time I am safe, free to prowl onward.

Free to cause the pain and suffering that I do so

well. I am on a mission and have much work to do and

thankfully no one is stopping me yet.

Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is

autism. Perhaps you know me of know of me, if not

don't worry, you will meet me soon....

Wow! This is very well written, and I would think this would be a

real eye opener for any fool who thinks that all autistic kids and

their families have an easy, carefree life! Thanks for posting it.
