Media out to demonize Aspergers (just like everything else)
13 years ago
General
I was just called by my Mother to inform me she was livid, and what pissed off my usually good natured Mother? Some news station got wind the shooter at Sandy Hooks suffered Aspergers Syndrome and are trying to connect it to the why's of his motives and for some insane reason that aspergers has a tie to violent behavior.
So I go online to check some of this for myself.....my response below is actually what I shouted at my computer.
F**k you U.S. Media, I have Aspergers too and I'm not going around shooting or stabbing people!!!
I have only a mild case of it allowing me to remain a high functioning person, but it's accute enough at first three Doctors misdiagnosed me with ADD back when they still had trouble deciphering the condition (which ticked my parents off as those three misdiagnosis could have saved me trouble in school early on if they could accurately figure out my problems). In anycase I myself am now livid they're now attacking an Autistic syndrome disorder as another of many "ifs and causes" for ratings and media sensationalism.
So as much as I hate posting another rant post after my last....I had to get this out.
F**k you media, f**k all of you who support this BS, and I hope the groups who advocate the rights and to properly educate people on this disorder burn you alive!! Get your facts before you spin crap to get media glitz!!
Oh yeah and here's a link to an arguement about this bruha-ha.

My doctor misdiagnosed it as ADD and/or ADHD for 14 years, the reason it was so hard to pin down was because I have chronic depression to and was subconciously self-medicating myself with enough chocolate and sugary stuff to have me bouncing off the ceiling for a decade straight.
So yeah between the three of us, we all know what it's like for people to misjudge you, or even learning of your disorder, because of ignorance assume the wrong things about it.
