Re: Disgusting anonymous letter to the mother of an autistic kid
I think freedom of speech should exist, but not anonymous freedom of speech. Even though it would cut down on trolling and activity in general (lessen the psychopaths), I would prefer that all internet communication was tied to something. It would be pretty easy to watermark a sig onto devices associated with your IP/name.
That obviously has little to do with this letter, but it's the same idea.
Someone I know has an special needs child and published a book about it. I think the book was well received. I really feel it's exploitation, though. It's okay to, as a writer, self exploit but to exploit your special needs child is bogi.
That being said, it is kind of ****ed up if this person is just throwing her special needs child out the door without supervision. But I think this letter is fake.

That might cut down on anonymous interviews and anonymous whistle blowing though right?

Perhaps he should have said "Blacks have exclusive all blacks only colleges all around the Unites States" at which point you would have said, "yeah but they don't HAVE to go to college for free, they could pay their own way at a white college if they WANTED TOO". At which point I would agree with you, then question why were talking about blacks going to college in a thread about anonymous letters to a mentally ill child's mother...

[QUOTE=guy]I have a feeling some immature kids wrote this. I have a hard time thinking that a mature grown up was actually insensitive enough and took this much of her time to actually do this.[/QUOTE]
You'd be surprised. I screen letters to the editor occasionally and the depths of human stupidity, intolerance and ignorance often astounds me.
I sensed a "p!ssed off mother" vibe to this letter, not the work of a kid. The phrase about no one ever loving him and how "she won't live forever"...
Yeah, I think this person is being honest about her place in the neighborhood (a mother).
Starface,
I had the benefit of attending a very integrated elementary school as a child. From grades pre-K through 5, I was surrounded by ethnic and racial diversity, along with physical and mental handicaps of all makes and models. After the first couple weeks of pre-K (I assume) it was no longer something abnormal to me. Kids with severe autism were just another element on the playground at recess.
I thank my mom all the time for allowing me the benefit of growing up in a place like that. This woman could take some cues from those children on that playground about how to deal with situations slightly outside of your initial comfort zone. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
Separation is not the answer... Integration and education is.

You're a horrible person. You're also ignorant beyond belief, I seriously cannot believe the stupidity that you just laid out for us in this thread. You're like a throwback to 1850 when they locked up deaf people for safe keeping.
I'd tell you to shove your opinions up your ass but I doubt if you can get it past your head which is obviously taking up most the space.
But instead here's what I suggest you do, go take some time, give a bit of yourself to the special olympics group, go shag cones on a soccer field or ref a basketball game, do something, won't cost you a penny except for the gas to get there and then get back to me and tell me what you think of the kids you want to quarantine from the rest of society.

I don't understand how my opinion on this matter makes me horrible. I'm not saying anything differently than what people think to themselves when they see a kid who is obviously mentally ill walking down the street screaming "durp durp durp". Some people say "aww", some people move their kids away from this mentally ill kid, and even some people laugh.
Would you want this kid around your children:

Look at that^^^^. You seriously telling me that if this kid was doing this in a park around your children you wouldn't be a little in fear for your kids safety? Every parent of normal kids would be watching in horror hoping this kids parents are around to tame him. Most of you would walk over and immediately grab your children from the scene, lie and act as if you wouldn't, lie and act like this kid should be around normal kids. Go ahead, lie to yourselves to personally feel better. Freakin blokes you are.
Re: Disgusting anonymous letter to the mother of an autistic kid
dionysus is 100% right .. I'm sure the problem everyone's having more so than anything is her tone in that letter .. it was a little over the top and nasty .. but it was accurate .. I don't wanna have to be hearing or seeing anyone walking around acting like that kid in the ^^video in my neighborhood or someone walking around yelling and cursing .. people talk about being considerate to the kid's feelings .. but you also have to be considerate of everyone else's
Re: Disgusting anonymous letter to the mother of an autistic kid
It seems like this kid is left unattended in the front yard and there may be other kids there playing. It's more like a safety issue here, we don't know how old this kid is and what he can do to younger kids if they were to encounter.
Re: Disgusting anonymous letter to the mother of an autistic kid
I'm not sure what's worse, that letter, or this donysus troll.

I actually agree, but maybe you haven't realized one thing so far...people are different. So there's really no reason to believe the kid in the letter is behaving like the one in the link. No talk about physical aggression or anything. That's the whole point. It was only about a sound she doesn't like. Is it really that loud? Don't know, according to the letter it's not about volume but the fact that it's "not normal" mostly. I mean we've all seen "normal" kids lying on the gound all screaming and sh*t because they want something. Perfectly normal. Change the pitch of the sound and people should go all berserk on it because they're annoyed?
[QUOTE]I'm not sure what's worse, that letter, or this donysus troll.[/QUOTE]
It's not warranted to be angry at the guy, but the lack of any kind of sense in his posts is just sad. I don't mind politically non correct opinions, if there's at least a bit of reasoning behind them. Like if someone hates ethnic group x, country y or people with condition z, I don't mind that if they have good reasons for that. The opinion itself is not the problem, but the endless stupidity behind it.
Re: Disgusting anonymous letter to the mother of an autistic kid
If I had an annoying autistic kid outside my home making shit loads of noise, I'd be pissed. Instead of writing a letter, I'd talk to the mother and tell her to control where you let your child play and the noise he makes before I file a complaint.

[QUOTE=Dionysus]Look, I'm not being insensitive, but these are things we think about in our head without saying it outloud.
