Not all cunts are cunts
I used to hang out with a friend who lacked social skills,a bellend by most standards. He was just one of those of people who couldn't gauge anybody else's emotional state, entirely insensitive to moods, his Alan Partridge knob was constantly on 10. I saw him guffaw at car crash scenes, put his arm around the shoulders of a surly Glaswegian bouncer to cheer him up, and tell a mourner to look on the bright side - he was lucky it wasn't both his kids. Most of my other friends hated him, but I persevered because I could see he genuinely had no malicious intent, in fact all that aside he was a pretty generous soul. I lost interest and 'chucked' him when he became a fanny rat and would pursue girls way out of his league long beyond you and I would have got the message. From their boyfriend.

Seriously, he was a fucking liability, a dangerous bloke to have in tow.

20 years later and I'm married to a woman who's son has Asperger's, and another of life's little mysteries is resolved. Kind of like when I found out Babapapa is Spanish for candy floss.

This.
It seems bad behaviour as the result of lazy parenting is becoming medicized - it's not his fault - he's not spoilt, he has ADHD, it's not a tantrum, it's ... asplergers or whatever.

Maybe you should just slap into your idiot, ugly child once in a while instead of watching Jeremy Kyle and spawning more, you vile worms.

The Spanish for candyfloss is algodón azucarado.
You're probably thinking of the French which is barbe à papa or daddy's beard.

Aspergers is not a medical condition
www.theguardian.com/society/2012/dec/02/aspergers-syndrome-dropped-psychiatric-dsm
it's an overdiagnosed catchall term for a host of behavioural issues, only some of which relate to autism

Your mum is an over-diagnosed catch all.

Aren't all syndromes just medical speak for "you're obviously ill but we're not sure what it is"?

( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Tue 24 Sep 2013, 15:47, closed)

You've got that wrong there chief, sorry
Aspergers does exist but it's no longer seen as a separate disorder in it own right. Aspergers is just one of many forms of autism, is all. Jus sayin
