Thank you for replying jb. You are right of course.... there's a whole big spectrum out there, with most of the male population somewhere on it (myself included)!
I think lumping the quirky, the introverted, aspergers etc in with severe autism, or mental illness etc has been a bad thing. They are clearly NOT the same thing.
Celebrate the quirks, the freaks, the geeks.... but not the disabled, those in constant pain or unable to live without carers. We need compassion for them & to heal them if possible.
Well said. I agree.
