I can understand where OP is coming from; the amount of children these days with electronics that they a) have no idea how to use and b) don't deserve is appalling. And even though OP should've restrained him/herself from making an uneducated conclusion, autism isn't an everyday thing and its not OP's fault for making a rude comment. My little sister has autism, and the lady who snapped at OP, instead of snapping, should've been a little kinder about her response, seeing as autism is neither common nor completely understood. There is a lot wrong with how the autistic child's mother reacted; if the same thing happened to me, I would've taken the opportunity to create another tolerant and educated person since there is nothing wrong with being autistic. It's simply another type of brain/consciousness. This shouldn't have been an FML, it should've been a learning experience. >>check out the neurodiversity movement

And I missed when you were made guardian on that said child? If the parents want to but their kid something, why should it matter to you?

Mind your own business.

Insert foot in mouth

MYOB Dweeb.

That's what happens when you don't mind your own business.

Yeah, I don't understand why lil kids even need phones, cause who are they gonna talk to, and if they wanna play games, get em an itouch I guess or a gameboy, but does it seriously piss you off enough that you felt you had to turn around and insert yourself into a situatioon you weren't part of? Sorry but that just makes you an asshole

Sometimes I wish I could say things to people but I don't. I work at gamestop and had a lady come in to get her 5 year old a blue 3ds because she threw the black one in the toilet. She didn't want the black one she wanted blue! I wanted to punch her in the face, so I understand, but it's not your place to say anything.

You should have minded your own business.

Because you know how to raise other people's children so much better than they do?
