You read something that isn't there, in no way does that article say anything to justify offense from us. It makes fun of deluded as*holes who use AS as a crutch, I say keep at it.


Mal-adaptive behavior sure but the social complexity of the refereed pride is not helped by bullying.

I don't see anything wrong with this article. At the top of the site, it says "comedy". So no, I will not take the article seriously.

Yep comedy. Yet some folks have some very serious replies. Online list serves at times went nuts over the Onion comedy videos concerning autism.

Yeah, I got the impression that the article was mostly making fun of people who use Asperger's as an excuse to be irritating pimples on the butt of society. I'm also trying to assume good faith, and that cracked didn't want to offend anyone (well, anymore than they try to offend anyone usually)
