Today, my dad and grandpa came to a charity event that I helped set up for people who have autism. I appreciated their support, until I heard my dad say "Man, some of these 'tards are pretty hot." and my grandpa replying "Yeah. Probably like dead fish in bed, though." FML

Dafuq? ... That is beyond insensitive. It's downright rude! Karma will take care of them accordingly.

I don't want to play the devil's advocate here, but in a way they might have been the only ones in the whole event to see them as persons, I mean considering someone attractive, or even making fun of them is like accepting this person as "average". While if you keep thinking that you have to act toward them in a different manner, and show some special consideration and everything, you're only singling them out a bit more.

I think they did not see the people with Autism as human beings or equal. Only for sex and only marginally. I do not in any way think they saw them as people.

#39: While hardly a sophisticated or politically correct attitude, "I'd tap that" does express a degree of acceptance. If you find someone weird and incomprehensible, the thought of having sex with them can be between off-putting and unthinkable. On the other hand - it's far too easy to fall into a dismissive mindset when helping others. Care doesn't imply respect.

I have had Asperger's Disorder since I was three years old and am high-functioning autistic. I hope your father and grandfather get served the highest level of karma by someone who's also autistic just to teach them that we're a lot smarter than we appear, and I hope you said something to them about their blatant disrespect. Otherwise, you're no better than them.

Shame on your dad and grandfather ! I am the mother to a beautiful little boy with autism and I feel that anyone who puts down anybody with a disability isn't worthy of the air they breathe.

Wow, would you look at all the butthurt here.

that's one of the disgusting things I heard in recent times...how can anyone think like that...

I'm Autistic, and you can tell your grandfather that we are actually just as wild in bed as anyone else
