Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(
Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn't autistic, there'd be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She's a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.
The bottom line is, the victim having autism and being young is irrelevant in the sense that no-one should be treated like that for such a trivial insult.
It's obviously still relevant, the victim is particularly vulnerable, making the abuse so much more obviously callous and disgusting. But I say if this happened to Joe Citizen, it would also be horrific.
Yeah fr i was thinking 'yeah that's EXACTLY what an autistic person needs after getting manhandled and detained- a SCOLDING LECTURE over WORD CHOICE! Woohoo!'
Respectfully to the commenter, we get enough of that shit from regular people already. For some, on a daily basis. Sometimes it's just bc they feel like guilting someone. So at least for me, that kind of 'lesson' wouldn't go down without some bile (which I'd prob force back up into someone's face in that situation). The cop looked exactly like her gran and she was right to say it.
Yeah I absolutely agree with you. I didn't mean to suggest that lecturing the neurodiverse person would have solved the situation in this case.
I meant that even if the girl was neurotypical and/or intended it as a homophobic insult... it doesn't really matter - if the cop had to do anything, then just talking to the girl would have been a more proportionate response than what happened.
I meant that if the girl was neurotypical and meant to insult the cop, then the cop talking to her would still be a more proportionate response than assault and arrest.
If this girl is so far gone she can't stop herself from accidently being homophobic, why were the parents letting her out to drink on the street at midnight?
"If the mother thinks she is unable to handle being abused by the only people in the country allowed to employ violence due to her being a minor and autistic, why is she letting her go outside and socialize with her friends?"

"now honey, what you said was deeply offensive to your grandmother. she doesn't look like a

That is a pretty sick brurn though. Good on ya, autistic lady whether you meant it as an insult or not. Sorry about the pigs throwing a temper tantrum
You shouldn't call cops "pigs." Pigs are intelligent and loving creatures
Fair, my apologies to the swine. You don't deserve to be associated with cops

FTFY
Cops might be tasty too. You don't know until you try.
I've tried and I didn't like it. Very sour.
All that proves is that that one in particular was bad. Maybe it was out of date.
It was ripe.
Lol fuck off allistic

I'm an autist, and I very well might have meant it as a burn.

You think people with a limited verbal filter who speak their mind shouldn't be allowed to go out at night or drink alcohol?
I think ableists shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

Nice victim blaming you got there buddy
If anything I'm blaming the mother for being irresponsible.
Yea this autistic girls guardians seem to be abusive or at very least neglectful, and so? Was your point that the mom sounds like she sucks?
What about “you look like my gay grandma” is homophobic?!
Saying someone looks like someone else who happens to be gay is not homophobic... You're homophobic for thinking it is.
