*headscratch* In myself? Or just generally, as something that exists?

[conuly]

Generally, as something that exists.

[conuly]

Howdy!

I clickied NO. There is no autism. There is only Zule.

*snickers arcanely, spinning around with gleeful abandon in my big spinny computer chair*

[conuly]

*giggles*

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

I clicked no since all us autistics are supposed to be lacking in self-awareness. :P

*dies* You won that one

Umm... You can't really be reading this (your journal) and NOT be.

[conuly]

April is autism awareness month. I'm Doing My Part.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

And today is April Fool's Day, so I'm doing mine.

[conuly]

You might have warned about the creepy crawly!

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Its only the first day, and I'm already sick of it. "Your own child is autistic, you should speak up about it". No thank you. Let the actually educated people talk about it. Because all I will say is "They said he wouldn't be potty trained anytime before he was 4. he was dry by 3 years old. They said he wouldn't be able to speak clearly for years, he speaks well enough that outsiders know what he is saying now. So what the hell do I know?"

MY CHILD IS NOT YOUR DAMNED POSTER CHILD JUST BECAUSE HE'S CUTE AND DARK BLONDE HAIRED AND BLUE EYED. BACK OFF, TOWN OF MINE.

Edited for cute-kid icon.

[conuly]

Speak up about it to whom? These people obviously know, so why are they complaining?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

They're having some stupid Autism Awareness assembly or some shit around here.

[conuly]

Who's running it?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

I don't even know, I was asked by his speech therapist to speak and if his photo could be used for a pamphlet for it and I was like "lol hell no".

[conuly]

It might be AS, and are you aware that they're evil?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Well aware! I ran into an ASshole while bringing Tater to occupational therapy one day and they were just...arhghghgghg. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

God I hate this town sometimes.

[conuly]

Now, the thing to say, every time, is "They only give 4% of their money to help autistic children and their families. Where does the rest of the money go?" Just keep harping on that one subject, because nobody, but nobody can argue with it.

RAGE

[conuly]

By the by, did you get pied or otherwise pranked today on neo?

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

Yes! Poor Annika_Rose was pied. :(

[conuly]

YES!

I mean, uh, what a surprise.

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

*glares*

[conuly]

I was trying to get you the pie background! *innocent*

[davidkevin.livejournal.com]

I've been aware of it since 1968.

[conuly]

Hm. I don't think I can take credit for that, then.

[cumaeansibyl.livejournal.com]

im in ur pollz, skewin ur rezultz

[conuly]

Yes, but are you aware? I need to do my job!

[cumaeansibyl.livejournal.com]

Of what?

[conuly]

Just say yes so I can check you off.

[cumaeansibyl.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I'm aware. Geez, you autistic people have no sense of humor.

(Or I'm not funny. This is also possible.)

[conuly]

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Yes, but is autism aware of you?

[conuly]

Gosh, I don't know.

[tungol.livejournal.com]

Hmm, and would it be a good thing or a bad thing if it were?

...
And how would someone go about informing it?

[conuly]

Put an ad in the paper for three consecutive days.
