Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 3:40 pm on July 3, 2008 Well this one little asshole kid (like 8 years old) is a total terror who steals breaks other peoples stuff ect and guess what his parents refuse to punish him at all because he might have Aspergers.  I am so sick of everyone who has a kid who acts up using it as an excuse to not have to do anything with them. Also when the ell did it become trendy for every 14 year old in America who has a little social difficulties to claim they have aspergers and then wear the title like a badge of honor claiming to be super intelligent and use it as an excuse to be royal dill weeds while expecting everyone to pity them while kissing their asses? -- Posted by xgerardxlovex at 3:42 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 3:40 pm on July 3, 2008 Well this one little asshole kid (like 8 years old) is a total terror who steals breaks other peoples stuff ect and guess what his parents refuse to punish him at all because he might have Aspergers.

Because they want they easy way out? -- Posted by Apotheosis at 3:42 pm on July 3, 2008 circa 2004, got hip -- Posted by Behringer at 3:42 pm on July 3, 2008 same time OCD, Bipolar, and "depression" came to be trendy I assume. Everyone wants to be "special" these days apparently. -- Posted by XxemochickxX at 3:42 pm on July 3, 2008 wat is aspergers?????? -- Posted by BLUEAUTOMATIC at 3:43 pm on July 3, 2008 I don't understand how anyone could want this, at all. -- Posted by tiocfaidh ar la at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 since madonnas dog got it...a duh! -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 Aspergers or not, if someone does something wrong, he deserves to be punished.  Okay, if he doesn't know better, then he won't learn, but how are you going to be that lazy of a parent not to discipline a child because he MIGHT have a condition? Seriously, I'd wait and if he broke any of my stuff, first off I'd grab that little shit by his ankles and carry him to his house, then give the parents an earful, and if its anything of value, take them to court. -- Posted by mo money17 at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 Ass burgers? I don't think it IS trendy.... -- Posted by carnage44 at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 Any time people can make money off your medical difficulties, it becomes trendy. -- Posted by SovSull at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 asperger's is so contagious that just by reading the wikipedia article you could contract it as a substitute for all the lazy anti social choices you make in life -- Posted by Warm Apple Pie at 3:44 pm on July 3, 2008 It's not trendy, a lot of people have it though. -- Posted by BLUEAUTOMATIC at 3:45 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from SovSull at 11:44 pm on July 3, 2008 asperger's is so contagious that just by reading the wikipedia article you could contract it as a substitute for all the lazy anti social choices you make in life Yeah, that's right. -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 3:46 pm on July 3, 2008 Trendy? Aspergers is a serious mental problem. It may take years to diagnose because it is subtle. But how could living in a world where you don't understand anyone be trendy? -- Posted by BLUEAUTOMATIC at 3:47 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from Wakeupcall at 11:46 pm on July 3, 2008 Trendy?

I have aspergers, I'm not talking about the people who actually have it, its the people who read wikipedia and claim to have it but refuse to go to a doctor that annoys me. -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 3:52 pm on July 3, 2008 I thought ADHD was the big thing...man, I guess I'm a little behind the times :/ But no, I know someone who seriously has asperger's, two people in fact, and they really do have a hard to distinguishing the line between social do and don'ts.  As for "special treatment" I mean yeah, they need to be in different environments to learn because of their behavior, but they do get in trouble (maybe not punished the same way, but yeah).  Although, one of them did have the cops called on him by his mom because he was out of his control...long story. But yeah, I didn't realize asperger's had become a trend at all. -- Posted by rawr41507 at 3:54 pm on July 3, 2008 when evryone decided to be a bunch of attention whores =/ -- Posted by Smorz at 3:54 pm on July 3, 2008 Isn't that a disorder where you're social awkward and have trouble making friends? -- Posted by SovSull at 3:54 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from BlueAutomatic at 6:47 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from Wakeupcall at 11:46 pm on July 3, 2008 Trendy?

And like I said A LOT of people self diagnose. -- Posted by SovSull at 4:03 pm on July 3, 2008 if you don't mind my asking what are your thoughts on autism pride and the concept of "neurodiversity" in general? there seems to be some conflict between treating asperger's as a disability v. as a different way of thinking. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 5:06 pm on July 3, 2008 I view it as a different way of thinking not as a disability. -- Posted by iconoclast at 5:13 pm on July 3, 2008 what happened to adhd and bipolar -- Posted by iconoclast at 5:13 pm on July 3, 2008 imo aspergers is mostly a stupid excuse for poor social skills, probably for a variety of situational reasons that the stupid parents dont want to admit -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 5:23 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 5:13 pm on July 3, 2008 imo aspergers is mostly a stupid excuse for poor social skills, probably for a variety of situational reasons that the stupid parents dont want to admit I agree most of the time thats the case, while there are people who really have problems with it because their brain is physically made differently.   As a rule of thumb most people who actually have serious mental problems don't brag about them. -- Posted by iconoclast at 5:36 pm on July 3, 2008 it hasnt been shown that their brain is made differently, and even so, they can still develop anyway, it might just take them a little longer same goes for autism, imo whatever the cause its just slower social development, but because of this slower development they get made fun of so it stunts their development when theyre already young, whereas they could catch up by like age 9 if it was done properly -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 5:59 pm on July 3, 2008 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 5:36 pm on July 3, 2008 it hasnt been shown that their brain is made differently, and even so, they can still develop anyway, it might just take them a little longer same goes for autism, imo whatever the cause its just slower social development, but because of this slower development they get made fun of so it stunts their development when theyre already young, whereas they could catch up by like age 9 if it was done properly If only it was that easy. -- Posted by iconoclast at 6:00 pm on July 3, 2008 its obviously not easy, no one wants to put the effort in though -- Posted by Poker Shark at 11:40 pm on July 3, 2008 Aspergers...trendy?
