Mr. Bean and Mrs. Portillo
This is not a ‘hate’ joke. I had to find some way to cope with this news and humor works for me. Maybe it will work for others too?
Hey, if I can survive dumb blonde jokes while living life as an Aspie, then Wendy Portillo should have nothing to wail about with humor like this.
If you don’t get the joke, Mr. Bean is an Asperger’s syndrome character. Judging from info about Rowan Atkinson, it appears he’s also a bit Aspergish off camera too.

What I do hate is lying. Check out what Alex Barton’s Mom (Alex was Wendy’s victim) had to say about Wendy’s arrogant, shameful, and totally unprofessional behavior:
I heard on a news video that Wendy was teaching about tallies when she decided to have Alex brought to the front of the class for this vote to have him removed. Plus, she said Alex was disgusting and annoying (she would have been less vulgar if she called his behavior that, but no . . . she chose to reference that to Alex instead)! If people will not magnify (and most probably will not) this aspect of the story (and the fact that Wendy KNEW about Alex’s ongoing diagnosis for Asperger’s syndrome), then I’m afraid those who are fighting for the rights of us on the autism spectrum to receive equal respect as human beings are going to have to get a lot more active!
