Autism vs. Down's Syndrome - The Forever War

[Alpacawitz]

I'm a fan of tard tales so team downie all the way.

People with Downs Syndrome have never claimed their disability is "the next step in human evolution" AFAIK.

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

I'd prefer to have autism since it has a higher life exepectancy and level of functionality than down syndrome but downies aren't nearly as insufferable to hang around as some certain autists are

 

[Xenomorph]

Downies, everytime. Tism fucks are annoying and love to parade it around for points on Tumblr and shit.
Downies dont do that shit, also Downie babies are kinda cute when they are little.

The existence of downies just makes me sad, they're essentially a failed human organism that will never develop self-awareness to any meaningful degree or even a proper personality. Sure, they can act nicely and a lot of parents genuinely love their tard, but they'll always be treated more like a pet than an individual and I think that's morbid.

Autists come in different varieties but at least a big chunk are capable of introspection, and they make good software.

Downies are some of the happiest people I've met, though.

Maybe they know something we don't.

Average life expectancy of a Downie is somewhere between 50-60 years old. Is this because they just develop a lot of advanced health problems early in life or is it because so many of them sprint into traffic?

Both aren't happy with their chromosomes but at least downies don't make you respect their pronouns because of it.

 

[Webby's Boyfriend]

They're both retarded.

I have a downie uncle in law who's in his early 50s and he's falling apart rather quickly.

It's sad, he used to be such a happy guy, and now he acts like he doesn't know any of us.

Fuck off I made this thread to laugh and now I just feel like a complete piece of shit.

Nah, it's good to laugh.

Framing the question under superiority I have to side with the autists.

They are hardier and more insidious than the average downie stock.

They are harder to spot.
They breed easier.
They can mimic normal human behavior.
They can coordinate with other autists and form packs.

They are the Judas Breed of mankind.

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

They breed easier.

Autists are terrified of social interaction, especially with the opposite sex.

As someone who wrangled tards for many years, team downie all the way. I've only ever received love from downies... I've gotten the shit kicked out of me by multiple raging autists.

Edit: fucking autocorrect from tards to yards

 

[ToroidalBoat]

autism [...] has a higher life exepectancy [...] but downies aren't nearly as insufferable to hang around as some certain autists are

I think a short happy life is better than a long miserable life.

What was it like, making yourself responsible for the safety of God's mistakes?

 

[Glad I couldn't help]

I knew that a guy with Down syndrome once, in grade school. Okay guy except for an incident involving the girl's washroom that I don't remember the details of. Died of leukaemia about a decade or so ago.

Anyway, I think by the end of the century there will no more Downies outside of Christian fundie households, while the austim will continue to go on strong, so I guess ... team austism?

I want to say that it was rewarding, and in rare moments it was. However, it was mostly just cleaning up literal shit and watching forensic files (I worked the overnight shifts.) It was hard, too, for other reasons. *insert rampant tard masturbation note here*. I had to deal with a fair amount of deaths towards the end of that career. 1/10 underpaid and unable to defend myself when attacked would not do again

I worked as a substitute teacher for awhile and did a few sped classes. Usually pretty chill, the Paras usually handled damage control for the worst of the tardery. Once I had to chase a downie out of the bathroom because he brought his food in there. At another school I supervised them working in the lunchroom. Don't know whose idea that was because these kids weren't standard tards, they were the kind who just scream and fidget.

I don't know why anyone goes into that line of work

I'd be pretty darn happy if I could live forever in the same fantasy world where children live, never having to deal with the grim reality of the world. But if the cost of happiness is never understanding the world around me and always being a burden to other people, I'd rather be unhappy.
