I would feel really insulted if they talked to me like that

As an autistic guy this feels so real

New study shows most people think the autistic man in Rain Man is named Rain Man.

They say that in The Onion universe he is the only one who can see through the chaos. Find out more in The Onion The Movie: The Bee That Could (& The Attack of RFK Junior) coming to theatres near you.

Really can't help but wonder if the kid is an actor or they just took an actual spelling bee champion and gaslighted the shit out of him.

I can’t believe a child would just lash out like that.

Whoa! The kid developed Onion News Derangement Syndrome there towards the end! Stupid, unstable kid!

Eerily prophetic. Nowadays, you better not know how 2 spell your name.

This is what it's like to have high IQ with a condition like autism/ "twice exceptional"

I'm also scared of smart people, don't wanna touch em and get infected with intelligence.

For a 15 year old Video the CGI they used to expand the child actor's brain is very impressive for it's time. Well played The Onion!

as a very high functioning neurodivergent who went throug most of my education being lumped in with just, all the various special needs, this was too real man
@pjanon8581

It's so sad to see special needs children needing to be restrained.
If only we knew how to treat them better, but restraining them is the ONLY thing that works.
Especially according to the movie by Sia.

Another smug guy who climbed Mt. Everest hahaha, his sherpa passed from carrying all his oxygen for him, and he left a massive dump at the summit, but he got to the top is all that matters!

I can't stand this skit. It's unprofessional and leaves a sense of degeneracy. "Was your mom on drugs and alcohol?" Really? Re-a-l-l y ?!?

“Hey may not be able to feed himself” WAS THE FUNNIEST PART

My thoughts and prayers go to the parents that have to put up with this kid.
I feel sorry for them.

how i got treated by teachers after my autism diagnosis:
@crinoid88
August 10, 2025 at 7:57 am
It's such a conundrum, being such an unhinged freak but also having such intelligence. Seriously what is society supposed to do with him?
@a.p.g.k56

"So that's what they're calling them now" is crazy 💀

Perfect depiction of how the average person treats someone that is intelligent
@kyco1122
August 10, 2025 at 7:57 am
This is exactly how stupid people and “average” treat people with intelligence
@bowwowie8691
August 10, 2025 at 7:57 am
I know this is supposed to be funny but as an autistic person this hits hard

Now this is just offensive! Autistic people aren’t that smart! I can't pronounce certain words in sentences.
