NSFW WARNING: MALE FULL NUDITY AND TESTICLES USED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO

Last night, I was watching videos on Youtube at 3am, as you do. Watched one called Do Your Balls Hang Low by Koit (If you want the link, look online. I don't want complaints from parents of young kids who might click on it if I submit it here!!)

This is actual commentary:

Utterly baffled. Still, Koit took it in good, sarcastic grace, I think.

Mum was off out somewhere and had a bad hand, so she asked me to do her coat up for her.

I did so and - because I was in a silly mood - I did it up as far as it would go. She then said "Enough! I'm not autistic!" (She does, however, suffer from depression and, as pro-cure as she might sound to people Ive talked to about such situations, she is a passionate autistic advocate who genuinely wants the best for her two kids, and has even presented talks in Finland about social care and advocacy for disabled people)

I know that she was making a joke but sometimes I wonder.....

However, she bitches to me - IN CONFIDENCE, naturally - about a fellow parent who is on some board she's on because he says stuff like "People with learning disabilities can't own houses [When many of the ones Mum knows actually can, and indeed DO]", and just generally moans and disrespects the very people he should be adovcating.

Did I mention that this guy has an autistic son himself?

I know its becaus many parents find the GF-CF diet heps their kids, but i hate the PETA adverts that say thers a link between cow milk and autism. it doesnt say what the link is and seems to say that cows milk causes autism which it doesnt
Ttheyve done adverts saying how wrong it is to kill animals and eat meat but they kill cats and dogs themselves. Its horribel.
if you love animals and you think PETA is a good charity, i think you need to reconsider and support another one.

I've got ADHD, I'm on the dole at the moment and looking for work.

On the UK Jobseekers website, you get some vacancies with this logo, which says "Positive About Disabled People": http://www.asra.org.uk/media/48757/positive-disabled.jpg

However, vacancies with this logo are few and far between, and there's no way of being able to search specifically just for employers with that logo.

Online, a blog that gives advice for dealing with autistic children said that they should be allowed to stim. A few neurotypical people (mainly parents of autistic children) were angry with this because, as they saw it, this would lead to other children avoiding them, leading to loneliness. I decided to reply with my opinion: that these consequences suggest more of a problem with society than with autistic children.

Now, I should point out at this point that I clearly have “Aspie” in my username, and as far as I can work out I was the only autistic person in the conversation. The first response was along the lines of “It’s unrealistic to change society to match our children”. I’d disagree with this personally, society has changed in the past and can in the future, but that’s just a matter of opinion.

This Micheal guy on the undateables... My brother also has autism... I am never letting him become that unsociable oh my lord.

I don't like how so many people are calling the people on The Undateables "cute".... It's a bit patronising.

Just been checking the Twitter feedback for #undateables [The Undateables, a UK Channel 4 programme showing a man with Tourette's Syndrome, a woman who'd had a stroke and a man with autism].

Nearly all the feedback has been positive, but Twitter users @angryplumber and @markolyoliver posted the following:

" ‏@angryplumber
I'm pretty sure Michael's girlfriends have all been imaginary. #undateables

1h Mark Oliver ‏@markolyoliver
@angryplumber and in his right hand .."

Disgusting! So crass! I've met at least one of his girlfriends and just because they've not been long-term relationships does NOT mean they're not relationships at all!

Big thank you to those who left positive comments, though

Just now, I was helping mum wash some strawberries and grapes for a fruit salad (My brother is appearing on The Undateables and so us two, him and my dad are all coming round to mum's place to watch it).

I''m just about to wash the grapes and and am not sure where to put the strawberries, which are still in the colander the grapes need to be in.
I ask her where to put them (in a silly voice) and she says "Put them on the glass bit".
Now, there are two chopping boards; one on top of the other and both made of glass: A massive one to cover a burn mark a friend made when they stayed round mine years ago; and the one she's doing the fruit prep on, which is on top of that.
I say "But it's all glass" and she responds - in a half-joking, half-annoyed voice [I think - I'm terrible at reading people's' expressions and what they mean] "OK, put them on the clear one rather than the silver one, MS. SPECTRUM."

What's wrong with just saying Ms. Pedant?! 

Not to mention that my brother has autism himself.... *shrug*

My daughter – who has autism – is mainstreamed, but deals with acceptance issues daily, despite being outgoing & friendly. She is often ignored and made to feel left out. At Girl Scouts, she and the other girls were filling bags for the needy at a charity. My daughter loved the activity, but said she was ignored entire time. The troop leaders didn't help her at all.

Where are the adults? So much education is needed in how to work with autistic children. In school type settings, we need more adult involvement to facilitate good social interactions & success. What about those with special needs and their needs? Why are they so often overlooked?
