#CupForBen: Father searches for discontinued blue cup for son with autism.

A UK father's search for a discontinued blue cup his son with severe autism drinks exclusively from has sparked responses from around the world.

Marc Carter said in a post on Twitter his son Ben, 14, has drunk from a blue Tommee Tippee two-handed cup since he was two years old.

But he said the cups disintegrated over time, rendering them unusable, and his current one did not have long left, after three years of use.

"People say he will drink when he's thirsty, but two emergency trips to A&E (accident and emergency department) with severe dehydration say otherwise.

"In all honesty we are really worried what will happen if [the cup] falls apart completely."


This fucking kid

I don't think these people actually have autism. :horrifying:I had a MILD version of it growing up, and the inability to read social cues led to do much bullying that I was considering suicide at age 12. :horrifying: The 'tismtrenders imho have never actually suffered from it, or gone through years of schooling where the only friends were cats and teachers impressed by 100-averages... To this day it's difficult. I hate that people pretend to WANT it. Everyone who really has a horrible, socially-crippling mental condition wants to get rid of it.

Spoiler

These twerps can have my 'tism if they want it.

Lol you have autism.

Lol you have autism.

Yeah, it's only enjoyable/funny when it's someone else's. ;__;

As for the suggestions we kill Ben, dude, that's fucked up. The parents, on the other hand...

Do you actually think this is a good place to open up about this sort of thing?

You're right. We shouldn't kill Ben, his parents should. He's their responsibility.

You're an agoraphobic tranny lol

We already know the Farms is full of decently well-adjusted spergs and autists who look at complete fuck ups like Chris, Phil, and Fire to make themselves feel less autistic.

:horrifying:I had a MILD version of it growing up, and the inability to read social cues led to do much bullying that I was considering suicide at age 12. :horrifying:

I don't think people stop being autistic, I think as they get older they get better at knowing the rules of human behavior, and normal folks mature and tolerate a little more eccentricity from others (and themselves).

But this kid is completely hopeless. The company's been pretty smart using it as a PR bonanza, so good for them.

First off I am a TRUE and HONEST female.
Second, at least I don't have autism.

When your mental issues prevent you from leaving the house I don't think you get to mock autists who can actually function somewhat in society

And let's not even start on ladydick delusions

You're right. We shouldn't kill Ben, his parents should. He's their responsibility.

So let's say you're the parent who was blessed with this humongous bundle of joy, who lacks even the animal instinct of finding water when thirsty and therefore has no business being alive. However, letting him simply dehydrate to death will bring you legal troubles. So, what would be the best way to get rid of him without arousing suspicions?

I'm thinking of a long hike in high summer. Create some distraction in the middle of nowhere and let him run away. Then act panic, call the search team, wail, tear your hair out, urge them to hurry muttering how he couldn't live without his favorite blue sucker cup. As a cognizant parent you would have dressed him in green and brown beforehand.

Take him out back look at the sunset with him and put a bullet in the back of his head. It should be perfectly legal.

At least tell him about the rabbits hedgehogs first.

Lenny was more functional and useful to society than anyone that we've ever had on this website.

I'd go with telling him to make toast in the bathtub. Then blame violent videogames for what happened to throw any suspicions off my trail.

Thrilling updates: The company Tommee Tippee has decide to enable the family to keep the ham beast baby alive by making new ones especially for him.

Part of me thinks the dad will be upset he can't bring this up again in a few years from now. As he himself said, "This tiny blue cup dictates our life."

 

[CWCchange]

If he drank from a BPA-laced plastic cup for twelve years to the point of disintegration, it's no wonder he's autistic.

 

[BadaBadaBoom]

Apparently the kid has no hangups on what food makes it into his mouth. Paint a water balloon like a fucking meatball - problem solved.

Or you know, tape him to a chair a force a Poland Springs bottle in his mouth.

They could also just fill a turkey baster with water and shoot it into his moutha squirt at a time, like giving a cat liquid medicine they do not like...

They could also let him die, but those dumb child laws would make them look bad.
