This autistic student asked for a ‘fist bump’ and a selfie. He got two Title IX investigations.

Why is this "news"?
I thought the world was ending from climate change. How is this an issue?
 
Can vouch for this in the NHS, I’ve had 3 diversity courses in the past 12 months that have dealt with how to best care for people from diverse cultures/religious beliefs but none mandated for helping people with disabilities (despite the fact we encounter people with a wide range of disabilities far more often)

I weep for the future.
 
It's just all insane.
I don't get how people don't see how they're being led into their "opinions" or "facts".

Under Obama it was who could use which bathroom and how many genders there are. And police shooting black people because hey, they could be his son.

Under Trump it's Nazis and Russian's and racists.
Because the Nazi's and Russian's always got along.

It's all guided divisiveness. And everyone falls for it.
but it's working, and we're all headed in one direction, like the british boy band.

America only sees color, there is no progress without regress. If we help the disabled, that brings us closer, not divided. There is no progress to be made there.
Eff you. They had some good songs.
exactly.
 
Not sure how I feel about that. We had one autistic kid in college, he was a creep, watching porn on classes, staring at people and rubbing his crotch. Maybe that guy is one of these, not an actual rapist but a creep. Or maybe not and he is just being discriminated against.
 
Black and doing a "terrorist fist jab"???
He's lucky he isn't being sent straight to Guantanamo

This is how people with autism are treated in America, not just in college.

I get that in some parts of the world children born with with a developmental illness might simply be discarded but Autistic people, not just kids, get shit on in the US.

It's sad to see and if you defend someone who's a little odd you'll become a target too.
 
Yeah I would have earned myself a suspension at work if I got sent this call.

Really a fucking fist bump is sexual harassment now? Jesus, we are fucking doomed as a country.

I would have berated the hell out of the female claiming this and implied that she was in fact bigoted against people with special needs, racist because he is a person of color, etc.

Then I would have signed my suspension paperwork when my audio was reviewed...
