Mine was exposed paint fumes from a house 4 blocks away for about 8 seconds in utero.

He has superpowers now.

A**hole, why don't you educate yourself about autism instead of making stupid jokes.

Why are you assuming PP doesn't actually have an autistic son?

Anyone who has an autistic child wouldn't make such an asinine and insensitive statement. Not cool. Not cool at all.....Totally ruined what could have been an amusing thread.

Well, my ADD kid is pushing your 1st grader, causing them to bleed and ripping his shirt!

Only on DCUM..someone starts what should be a humorous thread on parents idealizing their "gifted" kids and you assholes turn it into a free-for-all on kids with disabilities. What is wrong with you?

Actually my son IS autistic. He's a smart dude, but would never do well in OP's classroom of overachievers because he is disruptive and impulsive. 18:24 got it.

Please provide a list of topics that should not be included in a humorous thread. Thanks.

NP here. Self-directed humor takes the sting out of a perceived or real injustice.
Of course it's never acceptable for a parent of a "normal" child to make jokes about our disabled kids. Maybe it is similar to ethnic groups joking about their ethnic-rooted personalities/characteristics (never ok for someone outside the group to do so - it would be racist).

Have I unruffled your feathers?
My ADHD kid is definitely more creative and imaginative than yours! In fact, we can never get him to stop, and he hardly knows reality from pretend...

How is one light hearted comment by a mom of an autistic child turning it into a free-for-all?
