You might think I am crazy for saying this.


Recently, I have come to believe that autism is just god's way of punishing someone who (in their previous life) made fun of/teased/insulted/abused handicapped people. I also believe that how severe their autism is based on how frequently they mistreated handicapped people. By this, I mean, the more they mistreated handicapped people in one life, the more severe their autism is in their next life.

1. If a person seldomly picked on handicapped people in one life, then God doesn't give them autism at all in their next life.
2. If a person occasionally picked on handicapped people, then God gives them a mild form of autism in their next life.
3. If a person constantly picked on handicapped people, then God gives them a severe form of autism in their next life.

What do you guys think of this?

What an insensitive post. I was harassed over and over again by my minister into a faith healing, because of AS, which he was absolutely adamant was an illness. It was the start of the loss of my faith.

=================================================================

Now that (judging from the many posts made on this subject) I see that a good deal of people have taken offense to this post, I apologize (and feel remorseful) for even making this insensitive post in the first place.

Honestly, I disagree completely.

You are not only wrong, you are delusional.

Although I don't believe in God, I have thought before that I've got given this cruel disorder because of something terrible I must have done in my previous life.

But my mother told me that apparently when I was brought home from the hospital, a gypsy came to the door selling stuff, and my mother was carrying me when she answered the door. And I wonder if the gypsy had cursed me. And I think AS is the worst neurological condition someone can have, because I'm self-aware enough to take part in mainstream society and know what's going on around me, but clueless of how to conform in mainstream society, even though I'm aware that I am clueless, but I struggle to do anything about it because naturally I am not meant to conform. Nature said ''no'' to that. That's where mild AS hits you the hardest. That's why I classify it as a curse.

Well I feel so much better knowing I must have been a terrible person in my past life..luckily I do not believe that.

What I think is that god does not exist. I don't wish to turn this thread into a theological debate, but I'll say if you think god spends his time smiting people with autism perhaps you should reexamine your beliefs.

Well this thread is for people who loathe Autism so much, like the OP and myself. If you think it as a reward or a blessing, start a thread saying ''Autism is God's way of rewarding people who were good to disabled people in their previous life''.

Actually, I was a great person in my previous life. I was kind, generous, industrious, just, chaste and holy. God wanted to make me a saint, but He decided to first test me and so He brought me back as an autistic just to see if I would become bitter and angry.

Well ...

It could be true, right?

There goes all the remains of my actual happiness.
There's something wrong with me today if I feel this way.

yup. crazy.

there is no god.

and when life is over... it is over. period.

Well actually I retract my previous statement a bit because I was told by a psychic that I was a viking warrior in my past life....maybe I killed the wrong person during my epic viking battles, but then again I did die with a sword in my hand so I probably got to visit vallhalla for a while before returning to this world.

or I got it christianity is the one true religion and this is hell...

Anyways in this life if anything, I try and be too nice to everyone....so I find it hard to belive I was ever what one would define as truly evil and thus deserving of various mental disorders, I think sh*t happens, not that I have AS or anything else because I deserve it.

Or maybe aliens did it.

(Irony)
