Comedic genius!
Great spoof of like half of the thread titles on "General Autism"!



:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well...of course! Liking chicken McNuggets is one of the diagnostic characteristics listed in the latest DSM!

Dislike chicken McNuggets...equals NT
Like chicken mcnuggets...equals autism spectrum!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

OH!! !

This question was NOT meant as a joke?
You are seriously asking it?

:oops:

Maybe you might be on to something though , a McSpiracy ?

If I were starving in the woods (like in that Charlie Chaplin movie) and had to pick between a boiled rubber boot, and chicken mcnuggets, I would pick the McNuggets, but normally McNuggets aren't anything I go out of my way for.

But FYI there is a running joke here on WP about how folks will start threads with titles like "I like cottage cheese. Is that an autism thing?" Its a recurring thing. Thus a thing to make fun of.

So when I saw the title of this thread I thought "Damn! Why didn't I think of that? Chicken McNuggets is even funnier than cottage cheese as something to link to autism!".

The autistic people especially like dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. :)

I wasn't having a go if that's how it came across , I was trying to add to the humour.

I thought that he meant that McNugget eating-ism was a symptom. Not a cause.

But you may be on to something though. That McNuggets CAUSE autism! Makes sense to me! They didn't discover autism until about the same time you started to see commercials for McNuggets on TV. :lol:

I'd hazzard a guess and say being 14 and on the spectrum.

You will have to create a control group and your study will have to include enough participants to be representative of the general population.

Start here : how many NT's also prefer chicken nuggets?

BTW - I'm vegetarian but before that I preferred chicken tenders.

I stopped eating factory farmed meat when I was about 14 and I have only been able to find free range chicken nuggets once or twice but I do miss them.


Its frustrating how few restaurants offer organic/free-range meat! I’ve tried making nuggets at home, but they’re just not the same. Maybe if I were a good cook...

Joel Salatin talks in his books about the kids who come to tour his farm that didn’t know chickens have bones.

I don't know about restaurants but about 15 years ago here in the UK you'd get free range eggs and very rarely free range organic whole chicken which was very expensive. Now there are cakes made with free range eggs, outdoor bred pork for reasonable prices, cheap free range chicken. As demand has grown so has supply and prices have decreased.

Our local grocery stores have improved greatly over the last couple of years, ever since Whole Foods came to town as competition. By the time I cook up a full chicken, use it to cook two meals and a half-dozen quarts of broth, I come out making money. I raise chickens for eggs (I could never butcher my little buddies!) I’d sell my extra eggs, but the license costs $100 and I’d have to rent professional kitchen space just to rinse the eggs according to the regulations.

If I smell them, I wash my nose out and wait two hours before eating, as with other airborne flesh.
