I, for one, love that fic. Being autistic doesn't mean being mentally impaired. Some of them have intellectually disabilities to some degree, but a lot of them are actually really smart, even smarter than the average for non autistic people.

The main problem with autism is the communication with the outside world. But they can learn to communicate nonetheless, specially if they are high functioning. And in this fic, Justin is completely capable to communicate his wants and needs, in his own personal way. And he wants Brian, and he needs to leave the hospital.

Why is it that 'normal' people think they can state who is allowed to fall in love and who isn't? Love is something that cannot be controled. Justin KNOWS what he wants in this story, and Brian reacts outstandingly to every situation.

I think 'Kiss Me Alright' is a beautiful story. A story that shows us an amazing inner world full of beauty and magic. A really lovely look into how an autistic mind could work.

There's a movie, 'Miracle Run', that shows two high functioning autistics and how they learn to communicate with the outside world. One of them even falls in love. Considering it's based in a real story, I think it shall be acurate enough, right? Watching that movie and reading 'Kiss Me Alright', I don't think there's such a difference between what's told in the fic and the real thing.

I can understand, however, why this fic caused such a reaction in the fandom. I understand why someone would think it's sick. But I stick to my opinion. ;-)

Again, I recommend the amazing 'For the Love of Kai'. It's a beautiful story. :-)

As with any other fic, people can hold whatever opinion of it they choose. This one just comes with more baggage than any other QAF fic I've heard about.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in this fandom who doesn't support the right of a person to love and create a life with another person(s) irrespective of personal challenges.

About the right of a person to love whoever they want, I was referring specifically to this kind of situation as well as to people in general, not necessarily to people related to the fandom. It's obvious that people in this fandom are more open-minded than the general average. They kinda have to be that way, haven't they? lol

I was not attacking the fandom with my comment. I'm sorry if I made it seem as if I was doing that. :-S It's just that sometimes I can't make my point the way I would want to, since English isn't my native tongue.

I was just stating my opinion on this controversial subject, and of course, I absolutely respect everyone else's opinions too. I just wanted to state mine. :-)

No worries on your English at all. Many native speakers should be as clear as you are! ;) I kinda took your comment out of context because you're right; this fandom isn't going to have people lining up to deny others their rights.

[identity profile] biku-desires.livejournal.com 2010-12-11 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
lol Yeah, how hypocritical would this fandom be if people started diminishing other people's rights? ;-)

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding again, and thanks for your kind words regarding my English. ^^ I try very hard every day to improve my English. :-)

Talk to you soon!
