I randomly stumbled across some tasteless art a few days ago that gave an unflattering comparison of Aspies and many negative characteristics associated with ourselves to Drakken, the enemy of the animated Disney children's show "Kim Possible".

This is the link to the first of a six-part series, the drawing will lead you to the other parts of the series, if you wish to go on.

Apparently we can only express anger and misery on our faces and we are prone to psychosis in our later years.

I gave her a piece of my mind and posted it on her personal page; I don't expect her to reply to me since it's been a few days already. I guess it goes to show you that perception is reality and the general public feeds off what the mainstream media tells you to believe. No experience with real-life Aspies is necessary.

That is insulting! Tell them to take it all down.

EDIT: I commented too.

one thing to notice is that the person claims to be diagnosed.

she is likely to be expressing herself more than her opinions of others.

i support her in her expression even if what she says is generalization.

she could be right afterall nowhere did she say "All aspies"

also she does use exclusive words like "generally" and "may"

also keep in mind what you know about lack of theory of mind.
if you dont know about it maybe read some about it.

Veh, it's steriotyping, but she can express herself through her art.
