I have a family member with aspergers and know another older guy who had it. That very same guy died about six years ago. He also gave a kidney to his son who would have died without it. The guy was brilliant but he could drive you nuts. He had a really good heart though.

Anne B is always bombastic. Her opinion would have been better if she just called Crooks by his name.

I will also say that perhaps playing golf is a stress reducer for Trump. None of us know what he did the whole day. He is not a monk. She has no idea what was in his heart so she should have cut out the criticism as though she actually knew something other than what she has heard all over the place.

The thinking process for aspergers is completely different than the process for typical minds. It’s not wrong, it’s just different. They tend to (according to neurotypical views) over think everything, which is highly annoying to neurotypicals, yet to the aspie, their thinking process is normal and they view neurotypical thought processes as weird and shallow, as in “you haven’t thought through this thoroughly”.

As children, aspie behaviors are characterized by a large vocabulary, compared to their peers and tend to communicate with adults much more easily than with their peers, where they feel socially awkward and misunderstood. The intelligence of aspies tends to be higher than average, however they struggle with social situations and often lack the ability to pick up on normal social clues and hints, often reacting with unexpected responses. They are not usually violent by nature. But to them, their insightful respondes seem quite logical and appropriate. Because of this, neurotypical minds view aspies as weird...because they are not typical thought processes.

There I go again, over thinking, even here. My friends OFTEN laughingly say; “there goes the brain again!”. They know and get somewhat annoyed, but they simply don’t understand atypical minds. I usually leave it at “well, my mind just works differently than yours does”, which is never any consolation to the neurotypical. It is perceived as an arrogant response, suggesting that the aspie claiming to be more intelligent, which is an incorrect assumption.

...don’t ask me how I know.
