Everybody has that one thing that just sets them off whether it be height,weight,race,sexual orientation ect. and when those assholes find it they don't stop because they're having too much fun from you being pissed. I would suspect that for most autistic children that one thing would be their autism and whether it's been sugar coated for them by parents/guardians/teachers or not it's still going to hurt and it's still going to piss the kid off.

When the assholes at my school found out that I couldn't play football anymore because of my knee they knew I loved football more than anything else(family and friends aside of course) I played, coached a little league team with my dad,trained my cousin(and still do), talked about it all day ect. ect. They knew that and they preyed on it like vultures day after day. I knew what the problem was the doctor didn't sugar coat it and tell me that maybe I'll be able to play again or anything like that he just plain and simply said ''sorry son but it's over'', so when I got picked on about it I knew it was over and what they were saying was true but it still hurt like hell to hear it over and over.

I know autism is severly different from my situation but the point I'm trying to make is that it doesn't matter if it's sugar coated or not it still hurts like hell. I think for the most part they understand what's going on and just don't want to be called whatever inappropriate,useless and moronic thing they're being called. Say you're talking with an autistic child and the subject is brought up of their condition, I'm sure if you say autistic,different or any other suttle and appropriate term they wouldn't mind too much but if you start the conversation with ''It must be hard being slow'' or any other foolish comment that jackasses have to say then I'm sure they'd get pissed.

The way to resolve the problem is to have as small of an amount of tollerrance as possible in schools. Tell the kid about his/herself, tell the parents,give 'em a month of detention and a week of suspension. Three strikes and you're out, I don't think it's harsh at all because the bottom line is the fuckers shouldn't be doing it in the first place so why take it easy on 'em when they do it.
