However, autism can also involve repetitive behavior, in particular "restricted behavior" which "is limited in focus, interest, or activity, such as preoccupation with a single television program." This is from no less a source than Wikipedia, which we all know is never, ever wrong. And I don't think it's a stretch to say that some fixed-gear freestylers engage in "restricted behavior" in that they only ride one type of bicycle, and they do so in tiny circles. Just replace "television program" with "bicycle."<BR/><BR/>Sorry if you were offended. That was not my attention. I hope you continue to read the blog, though I certainly understand if you decide to seek less controversial entertainment elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>--BSNYC<BR/><BR/>It wasn't the controversy nor the slur that bothered me. It was how little you know about autism. I love a good dose of insulting humor provided it makes sense. (You probably think schizophrenics have split personalities)<BR/>I'll admit the joke makes some sense when taken in relation to the Wikipedia article. Its just to bad the Wikipedia article gets it wrong.<BR/>You can insult people with autism for the sake of humor till you're blue in the face.

If you did you would realize your comment makes no sense what so ever.<BR/>Even when people use 'gay' or 'retard' as an insult it adds up to a kind of logic. Twisted and bigoted though it may be.<BR/>But your autism slur is just meaningless. Given that you have made no use of non sequitur humor in previous blog entries to date (which is the only way you could pass the comment off) I can only assume that this meaningless slur has arisen from a misguided attempt at comparative humor. Do some research. Just because 'Artistic' sounds similar to 'Autistic' doesn't make it clever writing to compare the two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
