If this is the story Rush was talking about, no wonder he made fun of it, it is begging to be made fun of. It reads less like a serious article on a subject and more than a coming out pity party and people making excuses for themselves.

How interesting. I'm inclined to lump this kind of thing under, "Duh, people are different!" But I suppose it's helpful for some people to have a name put the particular way they are different from others. Whatever works.

Bump for later. This sounds like a childhood friend of mine to a tee.

You misunderstand me. I'm not making fun of this illness. It's NOT funny. I don't find anyone's illness humorous. I'm referring to another thread in FR.

>"She'll say something about how terrible her clothes look," Mr. Jorgensen explains. "I'll say, `Yes, honey, those are terrible-looking clothes,' when really she's wanting some affirmation that her clothes don't look terrible."
So the cure for this problem is to watch a season of Queer Eye and Dating Story?

There are so many clueless freepers on these threads about autism and it's more than a little disappointing. My daughter is on the spectrum, diagnosed at 17. Then I could understand, in a small way, what she was going through. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Forgive them their ignorance and hold your head high.

I have Asperger's. Why one earth would someone make fun of it? It's one of the more unpleasant things one can have..

There is a lack of tolerance for "wierd" kids? You wouldn't know it by what you see in today's society.
