I fit the general autistic stereotype rather well, then. ;)

Apparently its also true that awkward = adorable, which is a bit contradictory.

I think most people look better over here, because their faces lack pretention, you can tell that a really pretentious person, someone who thinks very highly of him/herself, can look evil and therefore, ugly. I personally think I'm pee. Vive la insecurity!

I think that person probably said that thinking of LFA if he was thinking of autism at all...I have been told the same thing even by medical providers because while I'm not big on the eye contact, my facial expressions are passable at the worst...I just seem unsure of them that's all.

And yes...I do look a bit different from my family members but again...i think that has to do with facial expression.

And yeah we're not as big on the whole beauty routine either (although I'm venturing into it more)

Uhm, the person is 76 years old.


I wouldn't worry about it as the person you mentioned sounds deluded.

I think that's a stupid thing for a person to say, no matter how old they are.

Having worked with kids who are more on the severe end of the spectrum, I've also noticed that a handful will also have other health problems or often have poor hygenie or look childish. I think due to this/how there can be other deformities with severe medical issues is what your friend was referring to (and I've seen it)

However, it's not okay to say nor is it correct in many cases. I blame the media for this one and the inspiration porn that floats around.
