People with Asperger's, a form of the brain disorder autism, usually have normal or higher-than-normal intelligence but difficulty in deciphering facial expressions or body language. They have poor social skills, do not understand personal space, do not like change, have rigid mannerisms and speak mechanically.

ok, well I don't like how they put that at all... I found a website that puts it better lemme get the link...

I can find alot wrong that description when I apply it to myself, especially the personal space and speaking issues.

Anyways, I can understand how that kid felt. He shouldn't be in court...

yes, I mean, I do especially, like personall space, i choose not to pay attention to it.

Hehe, speak mechanically? My sentences aren't related sometimes, and I usually have to think before saying a normal (NT) sentence, but I don't speak like a robot

*snort*

That body language thing is stupid. I know nt's that are far more ignorant to body language than me.

as for the space.. these people have no idea. They can go and get themselves killed. I can't be bothered with ignorance.

Oh, nightmare. They're always standing to close.

Correction: Some of them are always standing too close. But these never learn.

hey according to another site I just found, only 1 in 500 hundred people have some form of AS thats not alot now is it?

Many aspies can go through their lives without killing someone and people such as Einstein have no records of violent behavior. He should not be excused from a crime regarding assault because he has a mental abnormality that doesn’t limit overall intelligence. He did something that could’ve placed someone in the hospital, heightened a negative stereotype of aspies, and if they got his condition correct, most likely has full understanding of the consequences. I have no sympathy for people who use violence and intimidation to get what they want or have no control over primal actions.
