I personally think it's something that parents use as an excuse for their (color=red) bad (color) kids because they don't know how to punish their them.
Autism? No. ADD? possibly. Autism is real. And you should respect that. Everyone suffers from some kind of ADD. I've met friends who..... Ooh! CAKE! What was I talking about?
My friend Calls a teacher " a **** ****** **** **** **** **** girl " His mom phones " blame it on the ADD "
That's just terribly offensive to people with the condition. Go open a book. This will be locked shortly.
Wow, sometimes i feel people should have to take an IQ test before creating threads. I am a child and youth worker and specialize in autism... It is far from an excuse, i suggest you take a break from playing this game and educate yourself on real life matters
You must be getting autism confused with ADD/ADHD or some other term you've probably overheard on tv. I've dealt with many children with different levels of autism and it most definitely does not stem from bad parenting. Perhaps you and a few others should read up on what autism truly is before making statements based on poor knowledge of the subject.
ADHD/ADD seems a possibility. I've heard of it being misdiagnosed as an excuse for 'naughty' children. Kinda crappy for kids with a real need. :s Half a brain or even half a page on autism or autistic spectrum disorders would show the OP that they are very different, if he had the grey matter to comprehend.
