I would like to remind everybody that we've got somebody here (possibly more than one somebody) with Aspergers. Wouldn't it possibly be better for this thread not to be here at all?

If this thread is a problem, go ahead and lock it. I think I will cool off for a few days. I didn't mean anybody any harm. I just got a little too heated.
Just FYI, this was an article from an Asperger Support Website.
I have talked to Cathedral via PM, and tried to explain that I meant him no harm.

Help, I'm not sure what Asperger's is 
Way back in the mid-90s when I was in college, I remember hearing about it once or twice (my bachelor's is in psychology & I took a few psych courses in graduate school).
But it seems like this is an issue du jour because I hear about it more often than I ever did 10-15 years ago. I've certainly met and seen people who act differently or out of the norm. But I've been around the block a few times when I worked as a social worker and I mostly just feel sorry for the odd ducks (for lack of a better word) of society and recognize that their condition isn't their fault.
I'm hesitant to slap a label on strangers too. It's none of my damn business if someone has Asperger's or is just a little off the norm. Who the hell cares? They are someone's son or daughter, someone's brother or sister or someone's best friend or coworker, that's all that matters and I'm no better than anyone else out there.

You know, I was told that a lot of people wanted this closed. I wasn't going to agree, because it's just about some ridiculous "article" that was posted in a quote with no link and no reference by someone who can't think for himself, and if someone isn't spray tanned and muscular, then he can't fathom them living.
For your information, Socrates, people with Asperger's are not creepy. You are. Think more carefully before you make such generalizations. I didn't think you could be more ridiculous than you already are.
