Aspergers here. Great read. My dad had it really bad. It's amazing in retrospect how much everyone adapted their lives around my dad to compensate for his abhorrent behaviors. Not one person said: "Maybe he's got some kind of psychological disorder". That was the hardest part growing up in my household. The not-talking about it.
- woah 12y agoWhat were his abhorrent behaviors?
- scoggs 12y agoI'm guessing here that he was nasty and rude as a few students I've worked with were. The real kicker though is that they don't realize what they are doing or saying at all. With adults maybe it's a bit less pronounced but when kids act like that to each other you will hear about it whether verbally or through tears.
- throwawayaway 12y agonasty and rude = autistic now? god help us all.
- robwilliams 12y agoThat's not what they said at all; they said they some autistic students that were nasty and rude without being aware of it.
