People with ASD more Likely to Die Early

Basically, Aspies are dying 18 years or more younger then the "Average" person. High-Function people with ASD are 9 times more likely to commit suicide than the average person.

The answer for a lot of this is fairly simple: We're Lonely, Godamnit.

For some reason people don't get it. People with ASD aren't like Sociopaths, without emotion. We HAVE emotion. Some of us just have a hard time displaying it, or interpreting others emotions. Many of us might just be extremely lonely people but otherwise fairly normal. Aspies still need Normal human things, like contact.

Can I take you home and snuggle you so you don't feel so lonely? :unsure:

Nice blog post, but is there something you want us to discuss? It's a shame I admit, but I'm not sure what we're supposed to be talking about.

As long as it's totally platonic. I'm not 100% sure about me being involved in m/m snuggling... It's kinda a slight fear of homosexuality but not in the way that I'm afraid of other homosexuals, just their carnal acts make me uncomfortable, which is fine because I don't have to see it because public Carnal acts are illegal :p

Since I'm too lazy to search up anything, I don't really understand what this is all about.
And what is Autism Speaks?

Autism Speaks was an organisation started by Parents of Kids with Autism who want to get rid of Autism. Since their Beginning only one member of the Board with Autism Spectrum Disorder has served on the board.

they are considered a "Charity" but most of their funding doesn't go towards Helping parents with Autistic children, but Administration (their pay) and Scientific research on basically Trying to find a way to find an Autism gene to abort children with autism.

They denied a job to a woman with an Autistic child because she requested 2 days off a 5 day week to care for her son.

TL;DR - Awful people who want to genocide ASD people.

So basically they just fund scientific research to be able to locate autistic genes so parents can abort them?
Sickening.
