In a confusing story emerging from Phoenix, AZ, 27-year-old self-proclaimed “tell it like it is”-type of guy Pierson Miller has no problem saying every slur under the sun, but has drawn a hard line at being called “weird.”
“It’s just such a rude and callous thing to say about someone,” Piers
If you’re really autistic, wear the “weird” label as a badge of honor like the rest of us do. You should also understand that it isn’t a slur, except to egotistical, conformative assholes who think they’re the normals ones.
But they’re not. They’re weird, because they can’t handle facing the fact that they are.
It’s not a badge of honor to have an intellectual disability that, among many other things, makes it harder to function in social situations.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and social situations are not all there is to life. Autistic people dive deeply into our interests, sometimes to the point it gets a little weird, and that’s an awesome thing to be proud of.
These fascists think they’re normal, and they need to be reminded how weird they are. They’re the only ones who think it’s an ableist term.
Them, and for some reason, you.
