Foul Mouthed Children

Quoted from HerveJosse

If you knew anything about autism you would know that autistic people don’t like either noise or being in crowds.best not to make ignorant comments about which you clearly know nothing just for effect

My son is autistic (12 yo) and not once has he sworn despite everything he hears, from me (i swear), other people and from tv.  He never repeats it, i can remember it all started when he had a phase of being interested in tornados, so put on the twister film on thinking cant remember any swearing so should be ok, and then 10 mins in first swear word he turned to me panicking thinking he was going to be told off to say its ok dad we can ignore it.  Sooo sweet.  He has ADHD too so its like having the Tazmanian devil meets duracell lol.

Football is about emotions Fillipe, maybe not for you but sometimes it is hard to keep it in check.  Even grown men have this problem look at the amount of grown men that have been done for being racist.  

Talking of autism. My girlfriends so is 6 and autistic and doesn't swear. My cousin is 20 and autistic and only swears at games and basically copies others around him then goes a bit OTT (Torquay away constantly calling the ref a paedo) 😂 I work with an autistic 10 year old and he doesn't copy or swear.

There's no two the same when it comes to autism

Christ, I momentarily misread that as “my girlfriend is 6”. Best thing I can say about you in that nanosecond is that I admired your honesty…

The thing is, swearing is meant to be offensive. If you weren't offended by it, then it loses it's power, so would be pointless as a tool to offend. You may as well call someone a cabbage instead of a coont for instance.

I personally feel that swear words are a part of our rich and colourful language. Used sparingly and in the right place, they can be a very powerful tool and some of the finest writers in the English language swore like troopers. Irvine Welsh put it better than me.

"It seems to be an attempt to erase and/or marginalise certain cultures, ie the working class, the ghetto, and so on. Language is a living, organic thing. If you start to try to control that and prescribe what people say, the next thing is prescribing what people think"

Imagine Trainspotting without the salty dialect.

What I find truly offensive, is poverty, food banks and massively unequal wealth distribution, but that's just me.

This is my issue; I’m more offended by those things you mention, similar to work, swearing is genuinely or even something on my radar to even challenge…
