What Is The Autism Challenge?

[cassa333]

I’ve been hearing about the autism challenge that is apparently on tictok.

I don’t have tictok and haven’t seen what these challenges are about but the publicity is saying it is not good.

Anyone seen one to tell me what the fuss is about please?

I hadn't heard of it until now, sounds most unpleasant.

Sorry, I should've refreshed the page.

Personally, I wouldn't even describe autism as a disability. Just a difference.

It's abuse. Nothing more. Putting "challenge " in the name does not make it any less abusive.

It's just a pity that people with so much pent up boredom and free time can't turn their energy into something beneficial to society.

I see its been removed

Glad to hear that.

If anyone wanted a real "autism challenge", they should either try and learn and understand one thing about autism or do one kind thing for someone with autism. Now that's a proper challenge.

A new "challenge" known as the #AutismChallenge just became popular on TikTok. The "challenge" involved several physically fit people acting like they had a disability by making fun of their actions, gestures, and facial expressions.
