Today, some guy punched me so hard I lost a tooth. I defended myself and broke his nose, so he started screaming for his mother. He turned out to be autistic, so witnesses, including the police, said I should have been more understanding of his disability after HE HIT ME AND TOOK MY FUCKING TOOTH OUT. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, someone punched me in the back of the head, so I swung round and broke their nose. It was some woman screaming at me for wearing headphones and ignoring her. She then pulled a hidden disability badge out her pocket so everyone thought I was beating up a disabled person. FML
Today, I got punched in the face, had hair ripped out of my skull and broke a tooth on the pavement when I fell. Some guy mistook me for someone else. FML
Today, a punk-looking college kid was making fun of my mentally handicapped son. Out of anger, I punched him in the face. I got handcuffed and thrown into a police car. The kid stood there laughing and pointing at me. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were play fighting. He said, "I should stop trying to hurt you," before punching me in the face. I lost a tooth. He found it hilarious. FML
Today, some guy tried to mug me. Shocked, I threw a punch that somehow knocked him on his ass. I'm now staring down the barrel of a lawsuit since he was apparently only 16 and "acting out" because of his shitty home life, as if I should have just handed him my wallet politely. FML
Today, some punk got up in my face yelling at me, pushed my wife and scratched my car with a, "What you gonna do, old man?" attitude, and yet I’m the bad guy who gets arrested because I open-palm slapped him and he fell into a glass window and fucked up his face and neck, probably permanently. FML
Today, I apparently didn’t teach my son the difference between defending himself from bullies and knocking out the bully's teeth, breaking his nose, cracking his ribs, and grinding his fingers under his boot until the bone splintered. Yes, the cops are involved and my ex-wife blames me, of course. FML
Today, a drunk in a wheelchair tried to fight me. I walked away as he kept hurling insults. He then rammed his chair into my legs, making me fall. I walked away again. Upon the second time, I got up and punched him dead in his face, knocking him backward. I was tackled to the ground for hitting him. FML
Today, I was riding down a hill on my bike, doing a wheelie, when I lost control and started heading towards a woman on the sidewalk. Don't worry, I didn't hit her, the man beside her lunged and shoved my bike so hard that I hit concrete and broke three teeth. He then screamed, "Watch it, punk!" and walked off. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when I saw a guy in front of me trip and fall forwards, and I quickly jumped forward to steady him. Apparently he thought he was being mugged, and threw his head backwards into my face, leaving my nose a bloody mess. FML

As an autistic person myself, I say that is no excuse! And if it was, why was he roaming free without supervision?

So the police are basically saying that because of his condition he should be allowed to get away with assault and you have no recourse to defend yourself. I can see that having ASD could be considered a mitigating circumstance in certain scenarios, but that is no excuse here. As someone on the spectrum myself, I say there need to be consequences.

Maybe you shouldn’t have asked if he needed help finding anything.

Goddamn it! You beat me to it! Now, I'm going to come up with something else.

What kind of fancy-ass place do you live where the cops lecture you on sensitivity to disabilities? In most places, they just shoot people in mental health crises.

Yeah because you're supposed to know he's autistic right? Sorry this happened OP. people use everything as an excuse anymore

It seems to be the excuse for poor behavior these days. The guy should be better supervised if they even possibly pose a threat to someone. They’re also saying that serial killers were afflicted with ASD, which irks me because I have ASD and I don’t go out murdering or assaulting people. A large percentage of the population I can guarantee won’t do that but it’s that 1-5% that also have other issues and behavior issues that use it as an excuse for an insanity plea that gets them either off or a severely reduced sentence or into a mental health ward.

Yeah, autism is no excuse for assault. And he started crying for his mother? So she raised her autistic son to be a mama's boy with no discipline. Just what the world needs.

Because of my autism the judge was reluctant to have me raise my son by myself when I was going through a divorce, so my mom raised my son with me, but he was more of a grandma’s boy until I sat him down and asked him what he wanted out of life and told him he needs to take responsibility for his actions. He has autism like me and is also a bit more higher functioning than me.
