Steven: Why are you always covering your ears? Do they hurt?

Me: I have autism, Steven.

Steven: Austin?

SkittishReflections: He said, autism, stupid!

Steven: I thought he was referring to Austin TX.

themysticalqueen: You think, you're so funny, huh? Autism isn't a joke.

Steven: He shouldn't be covering his ears, if they don't hurt.

Trevor: Have you not been listening? People on the autism spectrum, cover their ears, due to sensory overload. Pay attention.

Steven: Autistic people are stupid.

themysticalqueen: No, they're not, Steven! Autistic people are probably some of the smartest people on the planet! Keep your hate comments to yourself!

Steven: So, why is he writing then?

Me: Autism doesn't define me as a person!

Ilovekeefe4ever: Facts! Steven, do your research on autism! Leave him alone!
