I'm old. We,ve always been around. We've always been poked fun of in movies and books. We've been called "The absent-minded professor," "the ugly duckiling," and the "village idiot."We've been the "wearer of the dunce cap" "that spaz", and "the ret*d kid." We've painted masterpieces, written great literature, and composed some of the most achingly beautiful music of all time. We've explained physics and advanced technology in almost unimaginable ways, but we've never quite got the formula down for tying our shoes. We've led revolutions and fought for the rights of the disenfranchised everywhere DESPITE our awkwardness and anxiety because these qualities are NOTHING compared to our perveserations, integrity and demands for fairness. We have always been around.
So, exactly when did we turn into an epidemic?
