Where the FUCK do people get off equating Aspergers with sociopothy?

My brother, who have asbergers is a gentle, nice man who have this problems reading others - and he is maybe difficult to read also - if you doesn't take your time to learn how hi show his feelings then... I know him well - but even I have problems sometimes reading him - and understanding him.. Many with asberges can look like nothing hurt them - but inside they are wrecks of sadness and griefs.. many have just trouble being able to express it in a way, specially when they grow up to be adults when you are little you can always put on a tantrum - but if you are adult - and given some "normal upbringing" you can not put on a tantrum and hope someone understand what you want... Most then hide inside the "inner fortress" where they are safe and where no one can hurt them.. Not that "normals" is not able to build their own "personal fortresses", I know, I have my own fortresses to hide behind when the world goes bad. My brother tend to hide in another world - like a fantasy world of sorts. I have been lucky enough to be able to learn something about the world he have and I would just say - I wish the real world had been more like his world - then I suspect the world would have been a nicer world for everyone..

And many, if not most with asbergers, is smart, very smart, in most cases, they are far smarter than the "normal ones", they have just problems expressing their mind - and I believe your son is smartest han any of them, who have a bigoted attitude, and I feel sorry for your son - who have to experience attitudes like this from "normals">.. Sometimes I wounder who is normal or not...
