This item is a mixed bag, but I encourage people to focus on the big picture rather than on problematic details ( Read more... )

I dislike a lot of the stuff Temple Grandin had to say, but I can only be happy that an actual aspie is out in the media proving we do have potential. Any positive portrayal of AS is a good one.

I also keep seeing "Asburger's" and, inexplicably, "Asperberger's". *sigh* People are dumb.

Asperberger's? Really? People are so weird sometimes. They add an "er" to my last name every freaking time, too. Someday, I'll scratch someone's eyes out for it.

I've seen it spelled that way in several places, including a magazine article. What's weirdest to me are the misspellings on goodreads.com ( a book review site)(I have a profile there). How can one read an entire book about Asperger's and still manage to misspell it? Somehow, they manage!

I'd like to open a fast food joint and sell "asperburgers", they'd be delicious.

I made a comment, and now it's not here anymore. Was it deleted? If so, why?

Oops, I think that was my mistake! Please post it again. (I have started using my LJ inbox, which I hadn't been using before. I started deleting items from that, and it seems it has deleted them from the posts themselves. I thought it was just an inbox, and I didn't know it was connected to the pages themselves. Very strange.)
