naive and gullible
often unaware of others' feelings
unable to carry on a "give and take" conversation
easily upset by changes in routines and transitions
literal in speech and understanding
overly sensitive to loud sounds, lights or odors
fixated on one subject or object
physically awkward in sports

Seriously, I thought asthma was a joke (as in 'tommy can't take gym classes/go to the party/go to camp/wipe his nose because he has asthma'). It seems to be about as common as warts and raises less sympathy. Then, of course, someone close got nailed and it's a real thing.
Maybe if the poster would present a more reasoned position people could be educated instead of irritated.
[C'mon...'Rush was rude'? Of Course Rush was rude, Rush is an entertainer who has made a career out of firing people up - AND he was reading someone else's material.]
Wearing your heart, lungs, or sensibilities on your sleeve can be a handicap in debate and in TV viewing/Radio listening/Celebrety assessing. [well, less so in the latter case]
