The way I see it, Holly Robinson Peete let him off easy; fortunately for him, she is the very public face of Autism Awareness. If she were not, if she were the average parent of a child on the Spectrum, Fitty would not have made it out unscathed. I don't know about any other parents out there, but don't insult my child by mocking his disability.
How the very people that our autistic children admire can turn on them in the blink of an eye.
Dear Missus Tribble,
They open their mouths without thinking what damage their words can cause. Unbelievable.

Dear Dotty,
It seems to me that, the more famous a person is, the more they think they can get away with. I don’t know if my son listens to 50 Cent, but I’ll be sure to find out and tell his foster family why he should no longer listen to this jerk.
PS: Thank you for returning my absinthe: my hand-blown reservoir glass arrived yesterday and I enjoyed christening it
I do not know what to say? But people should think before they speak!
I was speechless with rage.
Thankfully my faith in humanity has now been restored, by a total stranger typing the right words into a search engine for me to find on my dashboard.
I love this mother’s response. I was a very good student, shy and quiet until I got to know someone, and then I could be goofy. The only fistfight I ever got into in my years of schooling was in high school, in defense of my special ed friend who had been mainstreamed into high school. Some guy was picking on him, and that was my limit. I’m quite sure the teachers were shocked, but I didn’t get into trouble, so I think they understood.
When I was a child nobody knew anything about autism. I was sent to a child psychologist because of my violent meltdowns and was regularly bullied.
I am so glad for the young generation of today that they get the help and support that I didn’t – and I’m also shocked that somebody would use their fame to attack autistic people!
