| I met an Objectivist on an IRC channel who refused to acknowledge the existence of Aspergers (or any mental illness in fact). He called it an excuse by the lazy for their failure. Then he went on to dismiss schizophrenia as a "conscious rejection of reason". |

Well, I would trade Aspergers for synæsthesia but I sure wouldn't want another condition in addition to Aspergers.
Oh, and Nomaken, I must say that avatar really creeps me out. |

| Because society is ignorant to the merits of people with AS. They only fail to live with other people who don't understand them, namely other people who don't have AS. If an AS society existed, people with AS would exist just fine. The only problem is in the kind of society that we live in--an igno... |

| IT MAKES ME SICK that people with ASD are forced to believe they're wrong. There's absolutely nothing to fix, nothing to heal, nothing to change except for that which broadens the minds of society to allow neurodiversity on an equal scale. It isn't simply a question of accepting differences. The fa... |

| It has nothing to do with learning "skills". NTs don't learn social skills. They are instinctive behaviors. Social behavior is pre-programmed as a result of evolution. Fair enough, but the point still stands otherwise. Whether you believe Aspergers can open the path to greatness for some, plenty of... |

As far as the existing political philosophies go, though, liberal democracy has by far the best track record when it comes to the handicapped (or those perceived as handicapped by society in any case)... |
