After looking up on Wikipedia about Ass-burgers (and I believe their article to be accurate and written as though it's FUCKING GOSPEL) I shall engage in my RETORT and pick this thing apart as it FUCKING DESERVES TO BE! "It is characterized by qualitative impairment in social interaction, by stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language. Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, restricted prosody, and physical clumsiness are typical of the condition." 'Qualitative impairment in social interaction'. What the FUCK is that supposed to mean? Who the FUCK has the RIGHT to determine what 'social interaction' SHOULD be? 'Qualitative' means SUBJECTIVE DECISIONS are made, meaning that shrinks will define it in a way that gives THEM power and money. Fuck 'em. 'Stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities, and interests.' What the FUCK is that supposed to mean, 'acting like a nerd'? Liking and joining 'nerd clubs' in High School? Fucking assholes. I bet they were the center of their exclusive 'better than thou' high school clique groups, and deserve the physical pounding I oughta deliver forthwith for "them" EXCLUDING people who 'act like nerds' from their little social country clubs, fucking shitheads. How about if "THEY" CANNOT join my Star Trek, Anime, Science, or Math clubs? Got your face, hypocritical morons. 'Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject' It's called "being interested" SHITHEADS! It's also called "staying on focus and getting the goddamned work done." I bet those assholes couldn't stay on track for an important project for more than 10 minutes without being interrupted by a continuous parade of phone calls, meetings, and breaks (the path to protraction and ultimate failure). 'one-sided verbosity' Last I checked it's called "passionately expressing the _TRUTH_ in the face of _ARROGANT_ _OPPOSITION_". How _DARE_ anyone try to negate the opposing argument through such BLATANT HYPOCRITICAL POMPOSITY. 'restricted prosody' Restricted to _WHAT_ - facts? Truth? Not enough 'FEELINGS' in it? Or is it the continuous emphasis with a SINGLE ELEMENT OF SPEECH STYLE that's intended to MAKE A FUCKING POINT? This is obviously nothing more than ANOTHER attempt to 'silence opposition' by removing the ability for those opposed to "THEM" to communicate without the act of communication being called "a psychological disorder." 'physical clumsiness' Yeah, they're describing the 'nerd' again, aren't they? Fucking assholes. I'd like to show them how clumsy THEY are in a sumo ring. "Whoops - did you fall down? Lemme help you get up. Ooops. Fell again." "The lack of demonstrated empathy is possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of Asperger syndrome." I got only ONE thing to say: WHO FUCKING CARES! "a failure to develop friendships or to seek shared enjoyments or achievements with others" And the reason for _THIS_ is simple: Other people don't understand why you think a rectolinear gonkulator is _SO_ _FUCKING_ _COOL_, and they either MAKE FUN OF YOU or (worse) become _CONDESCENDING_ often enough that you simply decide "It's not fucking worth it any more" and DO NOT BOTHER EXPOSING YOUR SOFT UNDERBELLY TO PEOPLE ANY MORE. That's not a GODDAMNED DISORDER. That is THE RESULT OF ASSHOLES DOMINATING THE PLANET! "a person with AS may engage in a one-sided, long-winded speech about a favorite topic, while misunderstanding or not recognizing the listener's feelings or reactions, such as a need for privacy or haste to leave." This proves why it is a _WASTE_ _OF_ _TIME_ to deal with mortals in the FIRST place. It's also a _ONE_ _FUCKING_ _SIDED_ description of people _NOT_ _TAKING_ _SERIOUSLY_ the really cool interesting shit that GEEKS are into. 'Haste to leave' because they don't want to be EMBARASSED by their lack of technological expertise, right? And it wouldn't be LONG WINDED if the geek/nerd didn't have to EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAIL due to the obvious difference in intelligence. It's kinda like when I was in kindergarten, and some kid makes a clay hippo and puts a baby in its mouth, and I say "You got the wrong end, stupid!" I didn't 'socialize' because I was on a completely different level from everyone else, like I'm a genius, and the rest of them are monkeys. Fuck 'em if they can't figure it out, right? "People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused." What, like filling their office cubes with anime stuff, or action figures, or toy robots, or video game stuff, or electronic gadgetry? Or not liking things that "mortals" find interesting? Maybe some geeks/nerds wear 'cosplay' items in public? Or how about spending a shitload of time/money playing games? Maybe it's _FUN_! Maybe everything _ELSE_ is _BORING_! So THAT is why geeks/nerds spend so much time doing only a FEW things, because BORING THINGS are, well, BORING. "language acquisition and use is often atypical. Abnormalities include..." (I'll deal with each of these independently) 'verbosity' Aka "having to explain everything to mortals, because their puny minds can't draw the line from A, to B, to C without a ruler, compass, map, and both hands." 'abrupt transitions' Whoever said this should define 'abrupt'. But we all know that it's _SUBJECTIVE_ (of course). In writing an 'abrupt transition' usually involves the injection of PARENTHESES but you can't see pairs of parantheses coming out of a person's mouth. Mortals just don't "get it" all too often. 'literal interpretations' Say what you mean, mean what you say, and quit fucking around, and nobody will have issue with this. 'miscomprehension of nuance' Not misconception. It's called _IGNORING THEM_. 'Nuances' are for idiots. If you can't say it straight out, FUCK YOU. It's YOUR fault for assuming your goddamend 'nuance' is going to be understood. It's what WORDS are for. 'use of metaphor meaningful only to the speaker' No, it's just that some geeks/nerds forget that NOT EVERYONE understands the Linux kernel, or Star Trek, or Anime, or Halo. After all, "It was for YOU this was made." 'auditory perception deficits' What.. the... FUCK? I'm sorry, I thought you said 'auditory perception deficits.' That can't POSSIBLY be right. 'unusually pedantic, formal or idiosyncratic speech' Pedantic because mortals have too low of an intelligence to talk to on a normal level. Formal because it's polite. Idiosyncratic is in the eye of the beholder, and therefore SUBJECTIVE and up to interpretation. 'oddities in loudness, pitch, intonation, prosody, and rhythm.' I bet the person writing THIS liked DISCO in the 70's. It was all the same, over and over and over again, like the speaking patterns that this particular mortal must expect out of everyone, in lock step or something. No 'oddities' at all in LOCK STEP. That also means no CREATIVITY, no INNOVATION, no EXPLORATION OF NEW IDEAS, etc. etc. etc. "Individuals with Asperger syndrome may have signs or symptoms that are independent of the diagnosis, but can affect the individual or the family. These include differences in perception and problems with motor skills, sleep, and emotions" WTF? 'Differences in perception' The geek/nerd sees things in a way that reflects his higher intelligence. Just because mortals don't "get it" doesn't mean it's a 'symptom.' 'Problems with emotions' Surak of Vulcan is a good life example to us all. Feelings are irrelevant. Only facts, truth, and logic really matter. And passion for a subject is neither obsessiveness nor anger. It's DEDICATION and DRIVE. Hans Asperger was an ELITIST ARROGANT ASSHOLE, categorizing the GENIUS geek/nerd as having a DISORDER for being a SUCCESSFUL and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT evolved human. 'Who is John Galt' indeed.
