    That's half of it. Many people with autism (or any kind of non-typical mind) get dehumanisation from those closest to them on top of whatever they're struggling with already. I also have aspergers and my parents were amazing. I'm proud of them for raising me and my brother with love and support, not ever making us feel less than human or incompetent.

    I have aspergers syndrome and I have a mother and a father who really care about me a lot.

    I have Asperger's and have so much help from my Mom and the disability services program at my college, which I am sitting at right now.

    You're the new Sigmund Freud! You will re-write the DSM with your thorough research.

    So, in your rigorous assessment being a "dork" is something that needs to be excused? Or is it something that can't be excused? Who exactly are you to demand that people justify themselves to you, anyway? Are you the dork police, or something? What do you do when you find an inexcused dork? Do you look and see if they have a 'male father' as a figure in their lives? Do you offer a service that provides 'male fathers' for 'dorks' so they don't have to invent false excuses for their dorkiness?

    you have to take a test. that determines what level the person is at on the autism spectrum. what you said is incredibly stupid and does not show you in a good light.

    I don't understand people excuse being a dork as "Asperger's".... I find a lot of these guys don't have male father figures.
