I think whoever wrote this article knocked back a few while writing it.

The descripti...The entire article is ableist crap.<br /><br />The description of autism towards the bottom of the article with the large bold header <b>DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLD</b> is disgusting.<br /><br />"They may display symptoms which <b>could be mistaken for drunkenness</b> such as shouting or swearing, or unusual movements such as hand flapping or rocking when stressed or anxious."... WHAT?!?<br /><br />That comparison is incredibly biased and it gives the police an excuse for their abuse of authority.<br /><br />End of the fifth paragraph throws in the fact that Melissa's mom is divorced. What does that have to do with police and prosecutorial misconduct? That only adds to the rhetoric of tragedy?<br /><br />Melissa is described in the following ways: "Suicidal", "basic", "hysterical", "vunerable", "disconnected". Not "brave", "heroic", "good samaritan" or "concerned citizen". Article refers to her being autistic several times then defines autism as "disconnected",(the fact that they felt it necessary to provide their own definition of autism with the article says tons about how much they respect the intelligence of their readers) when in fact her actions were as far from disconnected as one can be. <br /><br />This should be a story about a brave autistic girl placing herself in danger to help another, then recieving horrible misjustice from legal authorities.ratheruniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658832012531012427noreply@blogger.com
