ive been seeing it a lot more as of late. i feel like people who do this should be in the same instaban territory as people who use the N word or fa**ot, because myself as well as im sure many other people playing league have aspergers or are on the spectrum in one form or another. i would like to hear from a rioter in regards to this issue
Riot grrrlee addressed a similar topic not too long ago, with regards to disabilities as an insult.

As a former teacher who actually worked with mentally-handicapped kids, I'm also particularly sensitive to when people use the 'R' word. And I think it's great that you know so well that it's not something to be thrown around. As others have pointed out though, and it's incredibly unfortunate, it remains true that there are people out there who do not understand and are not as compassionate towards others. I'm sorry that you came across this situation yourself and were so affected. Doling out permabans however isn't always the most effective way to try and help an individual.
However, on another note, it doesn't sit well with me that you compared the usage of that word to a woman being raped. I think you could be more thoughtful about tossing out an analogy like that so carelessly :T
Autism as an insult and referring to everything they don't like as cancer, needs to stop.
I agree, but tbh, autism doesn't even make sense as an insult. I see it everywhere too. Also Kappa Pride is a new way to slander gay individuals js. And don't even get me started on the dicks out for harambe; the internet is a weird and fucked up place my friend.
I never would have guessed you were on the spectrum!i1!
Don't be offended by the truth. Own yourself, then no one can hurt you with words.
I'm okay if they call me a %%%got but using racial slurs/autism is pretty bad.

Autism is used as insult even if it should not. Aspergers and autist people can be part of community and good team players as long they need not to deal with reflection of emotions of other and feel overwhelmed. And honestly, game like LOL without hostility would be really nice, as you have to interact only with 10 people and even then you need not to react to subliminal emotional perception you have to do in face to face communication.
It is sad it is used as insult, just like homosexuality is used as insult. Neither affects performance on LOL context.
