People are not a victim of Asperger's. There is a trend towards Neurodiversity-which means acceptance of all various types of neurology. Now there CAN BE co-morbid conditions along with AS, such as mental "disorders" which can cause issues, but AS in and of itself does not make you a "victim" of an "ugly condition" in my opinion. AS is a difference in perception and other neurological processes, it is not a mental disorder or a personality disorder. Someone who is blind is not a victim of missing eyesight, yet they live in a world that is far harder to navigate than those with sight. It is the same with AS.
Whatever. You know I mean. I couldn't think of a better word at the time. My son doesn't have a personality disorder or mental disorder. He has Aspergers. He has seen doctors at Johns Hopkins since he was 18 months old as we lived in MD when he was growing up. Thanks for your sight unseen diagnosis (implied) but I think I'll trust the experts on this one.
Now if you wouldn't mind, please quit judging me for my opinion.
