They Are Humans. Not Robots.
Autistic people are humans. They all came to the world like any other living things. They have feelings just like all normal people. They are not robot who cannot express feelings, and just do whatever they are told. Society still perceive autistic people in a negative light...but what if its YOU who have an autistic child. You take him/her to a supermarket and everyone looks at you in a disgusted way because he/she looks abnormal then all the other kids. It happens all the time. People tend to only look at someone from the outside but never from the inside. Just because someone is smiling, does that mean he/she is happy? Just because someone is not smiling, does that mean he/she is not happy? Some autistic people have a hard time expressing their thoughts and feelings, so just because it is not shown, that does not mean that their emotions and feelings are invisible. Now, lets face it, even normal people can have a hard time expressing their feelings.. Every autistic people are different so just because you know someone...or just because you personally work with someone...it is unacceptable to generalize the whole autistic population as "one". They are all different. All unique in their own ways...just like all of us. We might not think much of ourselves, but believe me, you guys are all unique in your own ways...and of course "unique" isn't just a word for normal people...it's a word for all! Normal is just a title..a label. Being normal does not make us perfect or the best...so why do people look down on autistic people so much?
Who is to say that autistic people cannot be in a romantic relationship or be in love? Apparently, there are some autistic people out there who are married with kids. I believe that everyone can learn to accept something new as long as they have the mind and heart to understand another person's perspective. It's not the matter of fact that AUTISTIC PEOPLE are incapable of falling in love, it's the fact that normal people like us don't give these people a chance at all. As a society, we all still have a lot to learn...until we walk in someone else's shoe...until it hit close to home...until then, do society care.
To the people who object of disable people and normal people relationship...I understand your perspective too. You might have your own reasons, but to not give someone a chance to show you who they really are is very sad...walk in their shoes, and tell me how it feels. Do not feel like I am saying you are a bad person. You are not a bad person. You just need to learn to accept.. and understand..
