@Thanatos2k: Nice equivocation there regarding OCD. Did I call it neurotypical? No, I mentioned it after. That does not make them the same thing.

You also seem to have trouble with the word "perfectly"; a person with a broken leg is functional, but not perfectly so. It's quite an obstacle that fortunately tends to heal after a while.

Also interesting that you label "aspie" - a word actually used in the community that you're clearly totally ignorant of - as a derogatory slur. Seriously, just stop. You know nothing and constantly show it, all while repeatedly insisting that aspies are less than a typical person. Not only can you not actually prove that, it makes you sound like a terrible person. I've been trying to sway you from your absolute bigotry, but you just double down on it.

@Thanatos2k: You're citing Autism Speaks? Now I know that you have no idea what you're talking about. Autism Speaks is reviled within the community for presuming to speak for it despite being run by neurotypical individuals.

The list of impairments that you cite is hardly unique to autism. Do you deny that? Any of those could occur in a neurotypical person, and I know someone diagnosed with OCD who exhibits all three.

Furthermore, I have over two decades of experience dealing with autistic individuals. Can you claim that? Some can be painfully oblivious, and obviously the low-functioning are disabled, but the game described above is specifically about an aspie. Do you know many aspies? I do. I know and have known many. The adults that I know are perfectly functional members of society. You would probably never know. I have never once heard one of them report a problem that could stem from autism. Other problems? Absolutely. But nothing autism-related.
Now, aspie children are a different story, since they have an unconventional development path. They're good at logic and bad at social interaction, just as the stereotype tells us.

Anyway, I do recommend that you stop making an ass of yourself.

@Thanatos2k: Interesting. You tell me that I'm wrong, but fail to articulate why. Please, put forth a logical argument and not the verbose equivalent of "nuh-uh."

Especially since your attempted refutation of my bit about pizza was incorrect: according to H.R.2112, passed by the US Congress in late 2011, pizza is a vegetable for the purpose of school lunches, as long as it has a certain amount of tomato paste on it. Never mind the fact that tomatoes are a fruit - the law is stupid, which was my implied point. That, in turn, was a premise for the implied argument: because the law is stupid, your provided legal definition is inadequate.

So, here, I'll make this easy for you: a disabled person is incapable of some common thing, such as walking, hearing, seeing, distinguishing pitches, etc. - what is the specific thing that all autistic people cannot do?

@Thanatos2k: Yeah, and pizza is legally a vegetable. Please stick to the definition that I provided.

@Thanatos2k: My, what a substantive response. And such reading comprehension! Did I ever call it a benefit? No, I disputed the claim that it was a disability. Please prove that autistic people are necessarily disabled (as per the definition above) purely by virtue of being autistic. If you cannot do that, then you ought to retract your statement.

@Thanatos2k: disabled (adj.): physically or mentally impaired, injured, or incapacitated.
Please explain the impairment, injury, or incapacitation, because I do not agree. Perhaps you have some keen insight that would outweigh my ample experience in this area.

@Thanatos2k: I did read all of the words. I chose to charitably interpret you as not pointlessly insulting people.

@rglgathrawn: We must have very different connotations for that term.

@Thanatos2k: Now, where does it say "mentally disabled" in the article? I don't see that, and Ctrl+F has proven fruitless.

@Thanatos2k: Eh, GBA was still getting games in 2006. Hell, Mother 3 was first-party! In that case, we got shafted, but the GBA didn't.
