Congratulations. I think that is possibly the most crass statement I have read on here so far.Whilst autism does need to be allowed for, and some reactions can't be helped, a condition or syndrome is absolutely no excuse for deliberately acting like a dick, and anyone who is capable of doing so needs to manage their behaviour.

yep and in some cases people lose their jobs or go to prison over it. i think there was a post earlier mentioned that this individual is known as a troll. I often find Autistic people can grow up as attention seeking spoiled brats because of the way they are brought up with excuses replacing real effort to grow them into a well rounded human beingI just think a lot of these things are set up.
Do you not think that perhaps he carried on filming despite the obvious threat because he struggles to see emotions and relate them to the situation before him. Autism is a very complex learning disability that affects all sufferers in different ways.Whilst I agree autism awareness is lacking in the general population; it isn't always obvious to the layperson - especially in the "heat of the moment". But it can also be difficult to reason with an angry person. Although we don't know what happened after the filiming, the victim is probably very lucky not to have been injured or have his phone stolen
Oh, I stand corrected from my earlier post.

Is that the Romcom where Tom Crewes played Red Pen and Jennifer Anniesland was Ann Orak?
Sorry. Off topic. Not serious. Just starting to succomb to the Christmas spirit. Won't do it again.

I don't think this is a fair comment

This thread is simply demonstrating my previous post about a general lack of autism awareness in the population in general.
(Worse in fact, people *think* they get it, when in reality they're wayyyy wide of the mark)

Trainspotters from Hell, a Fist Full of Trainspotters, the Good the Bad and the Trainspotters, For a Few Trainspotters More, Preditor meets the Trainspotter, Alien Trainspotters from the Planet Thrash
Looking forward to some great movies
I don't doubt that does happen in some cases but you must be unlucky if you "often" find it.I often find Autistic people can grow up as attention seeking spoiled brats because of the way they are brought up with excuses replacing real effort to grow them into a well rounded human being
Nobody has picked up on the Cerebellar Ataxia - that is a terrible, terrible illness, especially in young people, and it can really mess people up. I have a close relative who this time 4 years ago went from a 'work hard, play hard, live life to the full' life to being wheelchair bound, with poor motor skills, a bad speech impediment and totally dependent on others for just about everything, when struck down by it, at the age of 34. It's rare, nobody as yet knows why it happens, but it's real. It affects different victims in different ways, but it is a life changer. There's no cure either.
Not improving the "image" of railway enthusiasts at all. It seemed to be that the aggressive person was in some way objecting to where the "victim" was standing on the platform. Perhaps he was standing where he'd be in all their photographs of oncoming trains. As a photographer myself, it is sometimes galling to "plot up" somewhere expecting a particular loco or service, only to have some latecomer rock up and plant themselves right on the edge of the platform in the middle of what would have been your shot, usually oblivious to anyone else.
Still that's no excuse to threaten to break someone's legs and attempting to take a photograph doesn't give anyone the right to order someone else around, even if their camera is less sophisticated (I've seen that happen through my own viewfinder).
I think the nature of railway enthusiasm and sometimes careers in the rail industry, their reliance on order, lists, timetables, numbers and such can be attractive to some who are at various points of the Autism spectrum. Having had experience of that myself, I'm always acutely aware that those on the spectrum view the world and social interaction in a very different way to those who aren't on that spectrum.

Made me chuckle. Two silly people acting up over nothing. Hardly worth a local newspaper article.
