I noticed that "autism" is the euphemism for "clinically stupid" for coping. "Autism" is the new "Indigo children".

People think autists are like rainman, super geniouses. Tv did its job well. Because of that anyone that's kinda retarded is called autist. It's cool to be autistic, and the rest is just technically retarded

Nevermind that autists are in fact just that, autistic.

Not only are they autistic, but the average iq of autists is significantly lower than that of the average population. It has to do with an under-developed brain.

Um... indigo children.

It was some media-pushed bullshit about how semi-autistic kids were magical creatures with some sort of connection to the under verse or some similar bullshit. I'm not joking. It was ludicrous, but was a big hit with a certain type of helicopter mom.
