Before anyone ask, this is not an attack on actual Handicapped people. This was made because my Mom keeps saying I'm handicapped. Why? Because I was born with Autism.

I don't like hearing my Mom call me Handicapped. Because it sounds like an offensive language towards anyone that has Autism. If that isn't enough, look at here. www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.…

So yeah, just because I have Autism doesn't mean I'm literally handicapped. I mean, aren't Handicapped people the ones who can't walk and need a wheelchair to get somewhere? And what do you think real Handicapped people would say if you are using this word towards those who aren't handicapped, including those with Autism? Because that sounds kinda sus to me.

UPDATE: I noticed that a couple people in the comments that Handicapped doesn't just mean physically, and I get that they mean well, but... I just don't want to be ashamed of who I am. As in, I don't want to continue to hate myself. I want to be proud of who I am, and if my Mom and others like her can't accept me for who I am, then they should go to hell for all I care.
