Here we have an old video of a well known fellow known as Chris-chan, he has Autism, however he posts many videos usually aimed at telling trolls to go away, it doesn't work.

Folks, making a video where you are angry and telling people to go away or swearing at them does not work, it only makes people point and laugh at you, he probably doesn't realise this but my point still stands.

I disagree with the bold part.
There's NO way in hell that this guy is an actual autist. I know enough autists including myself now and even though some of them are downright assholes, none of them would be so foolish, stupid and arrogant to act like this idiot. Please don't forget that he claims to have autism - Something idiots on the internet like to use as an excuse for their rude and antisocial behaviour. It just proves that they don't know shit. Thanks for listening.

Also, you can't have Chris-chan without posting the whole saga: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Chris-chan

That's another thing I have noticed as you pointed out, many people claim to be mentally disabled to make people feel bad about insulting them but on the internet as people know, everything is fair game so once again it falls flat as trolls aren't scared of anything.

Most of the autists I know wouldn't even show themselves in a video on the internet. This guy is just plain moronic, and he can spout all kinds of excuses if he wants - In the end, he will still get called out on his bullshit.

I actually am Autistic (Asperger's Syndrome), but you don't see me proclaiming that to the world every chance I get. I never went to a "special" school, so I actually had to learn *le gaspe* normal socializing skills, unlike most Aspies these days. That's why most people wouldn't know it if they talked to me.

Most aspies these days? Maybe in the US, but here in Germany, it's still a very "underground" topic and we don't have many special schools for people like that to begin with.

Oh boy, something Sonichu related.

Yeah, I don't think Chris-chan actually knows or cares about what autism is... and no, I can't think of a way to end that sentence in something other than a preposition. In fact, an autism awareness person bought an add on cwcipedia, which Chris-chan changed, very obviously. Well... the whole thing is here: http://www.cogsdev.org/cwcki/Autism_Awareness_E-mails

The UK has a similar system to the US, we have Special Schools here but the new Government wishes to remove them as they feel it isolates Disabled kids from the Normal ones.
Encourage bonds to grow between the two groups and all.

ChristianU2uber learned that lesson the hard way.

Cool, that makes two of us Only real noticeable downside is that I can't juggle the usual amount of Year 12 subjects at once, as I feel I need to devote my time to a limited number of areas at once in order to get things done satisfactorily. Then again, others struggle with the same issue with no obvious psychological cause, so I don't really consider it such a big deal. The natural boost to my language skills is something I've always appreciated anyways, despite the down sides

I feel rather sorry for Chris-chan :/ Poor guy. I was lucky to get away with Asperger's, but were it for an unfortunate twist of fate I'm sure it could've gone either way for me. I guess it just drives home the message to be thankful for whatever we receive as our lot in life [/sappy sentimentality]
