You know, often when I introduce the idea of autism or Asperger's to friends, generally
the first thing I will hear is "No, you're not", "You Don't Look Autistic", "Oh that
sucks", "My friend's kid has that", or "It's a shame you have to suffer with that".
No, let me explain to you that it's a better part of the world. See, I can take pills and
see things how normal people see. It's a little dry, a little tunnel vision. I can see love,
life, patterns, all throughout things. I have this!
I'm always happy. My default is happy, and even though I can experience every human emotion,
of course, there's times I'll be sad or depressed. It's a problem to fix. I solve it, finding
root cause analysis and move on. I've got many senses others don't, including extra
senses with lots of things and there's things I can do that nobody can do, and I can do
these things easily. There's also things that most everyone can do easily that I can't do
at all.
I think that's kind of how the world works, right? We all have a little something. We're
all kind of limping along at some point in this universe. We're all just trying to fit
in and be that status quo that we're supposed to represent, right?
Think about it. 15% of society is considered to have some type of "personality disorder",
this includes about 1% or rather 1 in about 88 individuals are autistic spectrum these
days, with the popular rise of Asperger's understanding. You also have to consider that
if 1 out of 100 or 1 out of 88 people has autistic spectrum, which may include your
OCD and ADD (blink, Darren), and 4% are sociopaths!?
Well, just think about it... Ambivalence vs. benevolence and all that good crap. I've got
to go, thanks for tuning in!
