I don't like Lily because she irritates me. It has nothing to do with her autism. If there was a character just like her but with no autism, I wouldn't like that character either. LOL. (heck...I didn't like Bianca either, they are both saintly characters. yuck).
However I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression and though I was making fun of autism or anything. That wasn't my intention.

OK...I hate Lily because she is supposed to be AUTISTIC. I wonder if Walt Wiley is a bit infruitated about the way they depice autism. It's so wrong!
Every person with autism is an individual, and like all individuals, has a unique personality and combination of characteristics. Some individuals mildly affected may exhibit only slight delays in language and greater challenges with social interactions. They may have difficulty initiating and/or maintaining a conversation. Their communication is often described as talking at others instead of to them. (For example, monologue on a favorite subject that continues despite attempts by others to interject comments).
People with autism also process and respond to information in unique ways. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present. Persons with autism may also exhibit some of the following traits:
* Insistence on sameness; resistance to change * Not wanting to cuddle or be cuddled * Preference to being alone; aloof manner * Difficulty in expressing needs, using gestures or pointing instead of words * Repeating words or phrases in place of normal, responsive language * Laughing (and/or crying) for no apparent reason showing distress for reasons not apparent to others * Tantrums * Difficulty in mixing with others * Little or no eye contact * Unresponsive to normal teaching methods * Sustained odd play * Spinning objects * Obsessive attachment to objects * Apparent over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to pain * No real fears of danger * Noticeable physical over-activity or extreme under-activity * Uneven gross/fine motor skills * Non responsive to verbal cues; acts as if deaf, although hearing tests in normal range.
Even if she were not suffering from Autism spectrum disorder ...say she had the lesser type or autism, Asperger's Syndrome she should have many of the behaviors listed below:
Language:
* lucid speech before age 4 years; grammar and vocabulary are usually very good * speech is sometimes stilted and repetitive * voice tends to be flat and emotionless * conversations revolve around self
Cognition
* obsessed with complex topics, such as patterns, weather, music, history, etc. * often described as eccentric * I.Q.'s fall along the full spectrum, but many are in the above normal range in verbal ability and in the below average range in performance abilities. * many have dyslexia, writing problems, and difficulty with mathematics * lack common sense * concrete thinking (versus abstract)
Behavior
* movements tend to be clumsy and awkward * odd forms of self-stimulatory behavior * sensory problems appear not to be as dramatic as those with other forms of autism * socially aware but displays inappropriate reciprocal interaction
Anyhoo...if my child suffered from Autism spectrum disorder and I saw Lily I would be a trifle offended that they diminish the true disorder with their piss poor writing.
I in no way blame Leven for what they give her.

And they are also not just allowed to live on their own as if they've made some miracle recovery which is not a reality.
Anyway, this is a bashing thread. We are all allowed to do that on this thread, that's why it's named the way it's named. And I didn't see anyone mention "retard" until it was brought up by someone complaining about it. Now THAT is offensive to me. I hope you guys won't let it end this thread either. I hope you all feel comfortable enough to keep posting about what you don't like. I know I will and I just did. 'Nough said?
Lily is not "cured" and should be monitored by a parent or close relative not Jonathan. Lily should not have been allowed to get married at all. She is not of a clear mind and has proven that her decisions are that of an autistic child. Lily needs to go back to a facility that can take her back and re-learn her life skills before something even worse happens to her. Jonathan needs to realize that he's married to a challenged young person who doesn't have the ability to tell what's best for herself.
