I am normally very patient and nice but I have seen the "does Romney have Asperger" thing for weeks now and enough is enough. This was certainly not to be construed as any kind of personal attack. I wasn't thinking of any person in particular when I said what I said it was just a general statement.

I would be happy to tell you about people with aspergers

How I believe they are more evolved than we are because they are so incredibly smart
They are artistic, musical and incredibly talented with electronics or anything mechanical
THey are loving and kind and will scream for the car to stop so we don't accidentally hit a butterfly
A lot of they time they don't know how to tell you they love you but they can show you.

THey are often lonely because the world is very cruel to them
They need people to stand up and advocate for them because they are incapable of processing cruelty and anger fast enough to defend themselves.
They need people to recognize and appreciate their talents because they often keep to themselves and nothing makes a person with Aspergers light up like praise and positive reinforcement
They need people to teach their peers about Aspergers, and about why they act the way they do, then people can see and appreciate a person with aspergers
You gain so much by knowing them and seeing the world through there eyes
People with aspergers are incredibly honest. Lying is next to impossible and very easy to detect when they try.

Aspergers is a 40 year old man who still plays with toys, who loves his cat more than any human being because his cat has never made fun of him or hurt him.
Aspergers is a 17 year old girl cosplaying her anime characters singing so beautifully that your heart breaks and making you laugh until you pee
Aspergers is a man who is the hardest working, most loving husband god ever put breath in to


These people are so special and deep and difficult to get close to, but if you can get close to them and gain their trust, and you can learn to see the world through their eyes its pretty amazing.

I want you to understand why throwing the word Aspergers around is so wrong and engenders such a visceral reaction.

People with Aspergers have a very high suicide rate because it is difficult to get them services and because people are cruel to them. They may appear to be out of tough or uneffected by the way they are treated, but they feel every taunt and hurt deeply. THey desparately need love and compassion and beleive me we are the ones who benefit by knowing these extrordinary people.
I'm sorry if anyone thought they were being specifically yelled at, that was not the intention but enough is enough folks.
