I’m talking about a mental infection that society is foolishly enjoying. It’s spreading around by ignorant people who think, “Aspergers is a serious disorder. You have Aspergers. You have a serious disorder.”
Aspergers is who an Aspie is. It is NOT what he or she has! Sheeple will not accept this, because that’s what society really consists of mostly.
It’s gradually sinking into my thick skull as to why many people refuse to accept being told this objective fact about Aspies no matter how many times they may hear and/or read it. I’m constantly being reminded it’s because they don’t care.
They don’t care about embracing an accurate representation of the real world around them. That usually includes not caring about those whom others also don’t care about. What they do care about is making things fit into their perception of reality so that they can be ‘in’ with the herd, even if their herd is blindly running violently down a steep place into the sea to choke (as the swine in Mark 5:13).
The person who becomes the leader of the pack does so because he knows how others think and can manipulate them to do his will (not much unlike familiar spirits which have their way with fools in order to slowly destroy them). He’s like NBC in their desire to satisfy what’s socially popular while simultaneously enhancing it.
Those who conform to this world suffer the most serious disorder anyone could have. Without any treatment and/or therapy [i.e., faith] from God, they’re doomed to remain needy and dependent upon what others will think of them. Nothing could possibility be more insane than believing and trusting in mankind for the answers to the problems in life. The catch-22 of it all is that the more insane people become, the less they’re able to know it and/or care. The more sane someone is, the more he will love his neighbor as himself and will treat others the same way he would want to be treated.
Those who adopt the self-destructive attitude of, “People don’t care about me, so I’m not going to care about them!” are being overcome by evil instead of overcoming evil with good. Wholesomeness is Romans 12:21.
IF I returned evil for evil, you’d hear me saying, “Neurotypical is a serious disorder. You have Neurotypical. You have a serious disorder. You are a serious disorder.” Does that sound like something a tolerant person would say? If not, then what’s the excuse for tying that stinky shoe on the Aspie foot? It doesn’t fit. I don’t buy things that don’t fit. Do you?
Now that the premiere episode of the sitcom Community has aired, it’s too late to stop this social virus from spreading.
I’m tired of saying it and writing about it, I can’t imagine what the readers of my blog must feel like by now!
Postscript added on the evening of 9.18.9 — For those who might wonder if I watched NBC’s new show ‘Community’ last night, the answer is, “Yes.” I was actually surprised to discover how much more I could learn about human behavior thanks to its plot. I described it to my NT daughter (she didn’t see the episode) as being like a customized key for Aspies to enter into a locked neurotypical room. It allowed me to get deeper into the NT mindset. She had to remind me though that NTs don’t watch television the same way I do. NTs are prone to being programed by programs (as Zingers was). I’m busily entertained by dissecting its components.
Postscript added on 9.23.9 — I watched the second episode of NBC’s show ‘Community‘ last night. This time I was surprised by how unintelligent and boring it was (and they call that comedy?!?!). I don’t know what was wrong with me to sit through the whole thing instead of either changing the channel or turning off the TV!
Postscript added on 10.8.9 — I watched the third episode of ‘Community’ last week and I guess I’ll be seeing the fourth one tonight. Do I really need to continue with my report on whether or not I’m watching more episodes? Even I don’t care to keep track, so why should anyone else want to? …enough said; no more postscripts for this post!
Postscript added on 3.5.10 — I’ve probably missed seeing more than half the episodes since Community began to air on NBC, but as of this past Thursday, it appears I was being over-judgmental too soon. I’m glad to see that the main character Abed is being portrayed accurately as an Aspie and is being presented in a positive light.
