Ed ecco le risposte:

Some people are fucking morons. Dont worry about them, they are not worth your time and energy 🙂

Ignorance.

Us vs Them mentality – this happens for all walks of life – You are different from me and so you are wrong and I am right.

To partly quote Yoda, “Fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering”

People hate what they don’t understand. These people are ignorant and I’m sorry you have to deal with them. You don’t need to change. Be you.

I have twin boys on the Spectrum and they were raised to believe that autism gives them super powers. They smell, taste, hear, feel things that us mere mortals are not able to. Their thought processes are fascinating, unique and insightful. This is not to ignore the very serious issues that can arise from autism. It can be extremely debilitating for some. Especially when my sons were younger there were all kinds of behavioral issues, sensory overloads and meltdowns, but you learn to pay attention the cues your child is giving you and try to find coping mechanisms that work for them. I have no time at all for idiot anti-vaxers that would rather risk the health (and possible death) of their child and everyone they come in contact with than have a child with autism. Putting the overwhelming scientific data disproving any link between vaccines and autism aside, Death is better than autism, really? Fuck you from the bottom of my soul!

People are dicks towards anything that’s different from the ideal of “normal” they’ve built up in their heads. That’s on them, not you.
