Zoos are struggling as the sentiment against captive animals increases. Some are turning the zoos into information centres without animals.

      I really don’t like when people use autism as an excuse for shitty behavior, or as a pejorative. It’s getting really old really fast and it’s unfair to people who actually are autistic.

      Please, don’t use that word like that again.

          If that’s true, I’m sorry this happened to you.

          But allow me to have some doubts about the veracity of your statement, especially since your account is only 6 days old and any anonymous stranger can say anything about themselves on the internet.

          And wether you are autistic or not or if it affects you or not, using autism pejoratively like this is a trend that needs to end. (Like calling someone/something gay as a pejorative before.) I was only asking nicely to please not use it as a pejorative again. But that’s all up to you.
