My brother has Autism, so he is not treated as a "Normal" person. While I do know that this isn't really a standard and is reasonable, it just pisses me off when someone mocks him or stares at him.
Today in Biology, my friend told me about how some kid was making fun of the way he walked after my dad had dropped us off (I had gone to where my other friends usullay waited, so I missed the whole thing and now feel terribly bad about it.) My friend then tells me that my dad heard the kid so he goes up to him and asks if he has a problem with how his son walks. The kid got the shit scared out of him and started to stutter and such. After hearing this, I had a feeling of satisfaction.
