Yeah I think we can draw the line at people going after kids born with mental conditions. Automatic RNF at that point...

ehhh I wasn't really going after children with autism. It was more of an irritated response to the "I'm disadvantaged (or worse, have disadvantaged children/friends/etc) so I'm going to get all offended by what you said even though it wasn't directed at me and this entire thread has nothing to do with me" thing.
If I was the most highly decorated war vet to have ever lived, and I lost my leg in combat, I'd be a cripple. People would call me a cripple, and they would be right. Why is it such a big damn deal to accept disadvantages? Just shut up and deal with it or kill yourself and don't.
If I had a child with autism, it would be an unfortunate situation, but I'd deal with as well as I could. That would not include turning that child into everyone else's burden and whining every time someone was insensitive about it. In fact, I'd try to be considerate of OTHERS and try not to inconvenience them by parading my disadvantaged child around and getting in their way or otherwise disrupting their normal, non-disadvantaged way of life.
And I was probably in a mood or I wouldn't have bothered to write anything at all.
