It takes one to know one. I find that people who use the word "ret*d" in a derogatory fashion and make fun of handicapped people are usually pretty dumb themselves, and mean on top of it.


Yeah not to mention they sound like they are on crack.

I am autistic but I am definetly not ret*d at all, I am not even socially ret*d, anyone who even thinks I am any form of ret*d is obviously behaving like they smoked enough crack to violate the 650 lifer law imposed in the state of Michigan.

To me reading this post is just a typical person who dont understand why people are who they are! Secondly the word "ret*d" can be really offensive to some people with AS has to me in the past.
