I frankly see nothing wrong with a person who suffers from Asperger's. They're people, same a everybody else. But I do not go too far as to say their symptoms don't count or that their condition isn't really a condition. I am sure their symptoms are very real and do cause them stress.


:hug:

My symptoms are real, but I haven't had as much stress since I got out of school. And as far as the dismissive attitudes, it's really ignorance, and to me it's annoying, but not quite offensive.


Again, I have Asperger's myself.

I actually wouldn't have guessed, but again, I'm not good at picking out things in a social environment, even something like this.

I find it offensive and it smacks of ignorance. I know Aspies whose condition makes things quite difficult for them.

In any case, let us go back to the topic of homosexuality. That's what this thread is about. :)

Nanatsu; I had a close friendship with someone with Aspergers about 6 years ago, and he was one of the most interesting people I ever knew. I learnt a lot about the condition by discussing it with him in-depth.

To bring this subject full circle; that guy I knew with aspergers five years ago kinda made me realise I was bisexual. I had a major crush on him. (my first major boycrush) He was bisexual too.
