I love how the readers react to yet another example of unscrupulous "win at all cost" lawyers and media intoxicated by ad revenue trying to portray Aspergers as a reason for sociopath behavior. Go Swedes for calling them out.

| Nobody has shown me how I have attacked the individual personally. He is using the Aspergers community as a means to his ends. He doesn't care what the repercussions of his actions will be. Just his seed alone can be traced forward to tens of sites in just these few days. I have even seen his word u... |

You should also learn the fine art of moderation and using the private message system instead of "attacking" members in threads when you see something you don't like. People ... |

| Recent research into self mummification which seemed to be common in the east at one time show that they still lived off of tree bark and water as they slowly starved themselves. I've lived off of beer and Cheetos before but didn't turn into a mummy sadly. Just a hermit |

| The media always seems to find the tag with the most emotional or recognizable attachment. A lot of times they will define someone by their employment even if the event had nothing to do with that employment or even if they have to attach the word "former" to it. |

| I didn't suffer much physical abuse after about 7 years of age. I remember I was cutting through a creek with another kid on the way home from school. These three boys jumped us and the other kid I was with ran away crying. For some reason while these guys were beating on me I just started to wail a... |

| It's unfortunate, but I think that your point is valid. With all the negative publicity that Asperger's has been getting in the last few years, it's difficult for most people to understand that Aspies (and others with ASDs) can be amazing people. I don't know if it will take the extent of the words... |
