I see.
Yet, I am not ready to believe every asshole I met were undiagnosed people with autism or Asperger though.
It's way over 1:100 or even 1:30.
Also, I believe assholes have a different set of intentions than people with autism or Asperger but don't quote me on that.
I had a client who told me once he could head butt me without feeling bad about it, his doctor explained to him he was schizophrenic and that was why (yeah, right, I know). He was an asshole.
Also, I header years later he ended up shot in the head and his body was found in the forest.
Even so, one of my older bestie (whose mom was schizophrenic) told me schizophrenic people can be asshole too if they wish and play the game, beyond what could usually comes with the symptoms.
All of this is juste anecdotes though.
> Autism is easy to point at to make one think the response to "assholes" should be thought through more carefully. There are many others, not always as easy.
I believe that whether people are assholes because they are assholes or autism/asp. (and I don't believe every autistic person or asperger is automatically an asshole, quite the contrary) it's up the the other side to find the resilience/methods to deal with it in a respectful way (respect for oneself and the other). Don't put fire on it, whatever the origin.
