It might be yes but that's you, this thread is about the use of that word in general. Context offcourse matters.

Of course context matters. If someone walks up to a struggling autistic kid and starts telling them to quit being autistic, I'll punch the fucker myself.

 

But if someone it throwing a temper tantrum and someone tells him to quit being so damn autistic, then they should probably assess why someone is calling them autistic.

Yeah most of the times people do think why others call them names so that shouldnt be a problem.

Its not hard to just tell someone to not be so angry or act spoiled but to each their own .
