Yeah, thank God he's only brain damaged, he might have had autism. ಠ_ಠ
Think of the upside: now she doesn't have to be jealous of her son's intellect.
Fuck yes she does.
When people use the autism excuse (i.e. "vaccines cause autism"), I interpret that as "so you'd rather they be dead than to have autism?"
I don't actually believe vaccines cause autism, but I'm not going to try and argue that with someone when there is a much simpler counterargument.
Because they would literally rather that. If the kid "simply dies" then they get their eternal reward in Paradise you see. However they literally see autism as a manifestation of a moral failing. it's just literally God punishing them for vaccinating the kid.
A lot of them will never admit this out loud. Many of them don't even realize that this is how they think about it because it's a subconscious bias like how a lot of these so-called Christians hate poor people despite literally being told to treat them well and give to the poor. They have that unconscious bias of the Prosperity Gospel that makes them believe that rich people are favored by God and that's why they're rich, and therefore being poor must be a moral failing and a punishment from God. So they end up believing that the poor deserve to suffer because they're poor.
If we could identify autism in the womb, these people wouldn't be pro-life anymore.
They would actively kill the newborns they cry so much about protecting. I mean, they do anyway through negligence/lack of support because they only care about them while they're still in the womb, but they wouldn't care even then if they were an autistic kid.
they should check the mom too.
