Why do people bully and hate autistic people?

Update:

I'm high functioning autistic and even my family gets angry at me a lot, they dont understand how hard it is for me on the inside.

Update 2:

It doesnt make me mad it just makes me sad and I'm too much of a softie to fight back but after a certain point I lose it when people keep giving me a hard time.

    It's easier to bully or hate someone who is defenseless / weaker than you then it is to do the same to non autistic people/kids I'm autistic I've been bullied in my younger year's but i always would stick up for myself I just think most people are uneducated about it and/or afraid to acknowledge that there are people who live with it

    I have an autistic brother because of him I hate mentally disabled people. He never understands anything I tell him and always gets angry and it get's so annoying when he talks to himself.

    Because, people naturally fear/ dislike what they consider different. It goes against pack mentality. Human nature, by default, is pretty negative. I mean, hell. People might do that just to make THEMSELVES feel better! "Oh, let's pick on the autistic person! This person is weak and helpless!" Why pick on someone who looks bigger or stronger? "Cowardice". That's the word I was looking for.

    because they can.

    thats why they came up with the Developmental Disabilities Act.

    to fight for the rights of the developmentally disabled because THEY cannot.

    Because they are uneducated idiots who fear everything and everyone who either isn't like them or doesn't fit their petty little lives.

    Because they just do not understand
