| OMG, your Shrink is an IDIOT for even suggesting Risperdal. I hate how this is being prescribed willy-nilly to autistic people, it's a drug for psychotic disorders like Schizophrenia. A fellow Aspie who takes it is tired all the time because of it. |

| I see patterns everywhere! :D 8O 8) I see patterns in stories, in history, in processes... in almost anything.

This ***hole was just stupid enough to say what many RW nuts really believe but never say.
I have a physically disabled friend who was "date"-raped by a friend of her BF, according to this douchebag what she suffered whas not "legit" rape.
What a POS.  |
