Have you ever wondered by do we do this? Pictured is Christian Chandler, a "high-functioning" autistic man. Regardless of his condition, he is a human being. He has the same personal and romantic aspirations as you and I. For a long time he longed for a girlfriend. But his condition made it impossible for him and made it easy for basically anyone to fuck with him and make his life a living hell. If we have such an advanced knowledge of psychology, why is our society based around pretending like if we are just kind to people like Chris, they will be okay? Even if everyone treats him kindly, no one will actually want to give him the love and sex he actually wants. Seriously, what is the point? Can we look at this person's life and conclude that it was better for him not to be killed as a child the moment it was known he had issues? I just see it as torture. Cruel, slow and painful torture. Why do we do this? What is the explanation? Are all these people just meant to suffer and be our clowns until they are able to realize their own condition and just kill themselves? Is that the catch here? It is immoral for us to kill them, but not immoral to make their life so miserable to the point that they do it themselves?
I don't get it. Humanity was a mistake. And yes, I know that his (now her) story is all fun for us but seriously... this is just fucked. This person never had a chance at a normal life. We have just managed to ensure he lives in a perpetual hell.
