Hi all, Aspy and proud Father of an Aspy here, I just want to clear something up real quick,
Asperger's is not a 'mental illness', we're simply wired a little differently.
Neither myself nor my Son are on any medication (well, I am, but I'll stick to the T's&C's), and neither are any of us in any kind of therapy.
It makes me laugh when I read some comments about Asperger's, my Son too.
In fact, my Son recently started college and they've already nicknamed him 'Captain Autismo', he wears it like a badge of honour.
Not being defensive, I'm not offended, I'm amused if anything, lol 🙂
🍻

Most seem to classify Aspergers syndrome, as a developmental autism spectrum disorder. It impacts on the individual's ability to communicate and read social situations. It doesn't affect their intelligence capabilities, yet one has to wonder if young Greta may be misconstruing the social society in this world and inaccurately making wrong obsessive conclusions.
I do think this publicity will cause her more harm than good. Society tends to hold you high then drops you hard when they rapidly decide another should be uplifted. For one such as Greta...that could be a fatal fall in the end.

Children should be seen and not heard, preferably unseen as well, but one can't have everything.
Might suggest to some. Just don't have children. See what happens when you do!
Kind regards,

If you put yourself out there in the media you have to be prepared that not
every one is going to like you, or agree with you !

You mean like those Covington kids ?
Those kids did not put themselves out there in the media, they were minding their own business waiting for their bus.
Yep that man's face was clearly obstructing their passage on to the bus.
