Thus, teens with <a href="http://www.parentingaspergerscommunity.com" rel="nofollow">Aspergers</a> might be seen as egotistical, selfish or uncaring. In most cases, these are unfair labels because they are neurologically unable to understand other people's emotional states. They are usually surprised, upset or remorseful when told that their actions are hurtful or inappropriate.Skylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181017656853678187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387769022605188676.post-72848111631349456612010-06-19T20:10:44.177-07:002010-06-19T20:10:44.177-07:00I talked to my baby today and he was telling me ab...I talked to my baby today and he was telling me about the classes he has enrolled in. and I could tell he is happy and looking forward to attending college. <br /><br />I remember when he was about five years old and was telling me and my goddaughter about polar bears being an endangered species because of the environment warming up. I laughed, not because it was funny but because he sorta shocked me with his comment out of the blue and him being only five years old; my goddaughter told me don't laugh, he might be the one have to give us a job one day.GrannyStandingforTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427949558167014793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387769022605188676.post-12575764010844598502010-06-19T17:19:14.719-07:002010-06-19T17:19:14.719-07:00The great thing about this population is the gifte...The great thing about this population is the gifted ones like your grandson often earn a fortune, invent the impossible, marry and have a family. I've met a few. <br /><br />They are some of our best minds and inventors. I've wondered if Bill Gates has a mild case of it; he has a rep for the classic rocking behavior when he's thinking. Very nerdy, is how laymen see it. I wish your grandson the best.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387769022605188676.post-56272774054156114492010-06-19T11:51:28.138-07:002010-06-19T11:51:28.138-07:00Amen Prima!

After he was searched and it was found that he had no gun, that should have been the end of it, and he should have been let go. Last time I heard this is suppose to be the land of the free and people are entitled to express their opinion. However, it seems like only if you are white are you entitled to those privileges. Why the police think that they must use excessive force with only our unarmed black children shows just how one-sided our justice system really is.<br /><br />Kit:<br /><br />My grandson is extremely good in math as well. When the young man in this topic told that police officer that it was harrassment, he knew his rights, and he can't do that, I thought to myself that this is something my grandson would say. Mainly, I say this because one of my children works in law enforcement, four of his neighbors are also in the same field, so my grandson has been exposed to law enforcement white and black in social settings, my son's neighbors, baseball, or going fishing with my son and some of those he works with. So he sees a different side of them. Therefore, I assume a situation like what the young man in the article experienced would be something different from what he is normally used to being exposed to and the fact that people with Aspergers will truthfully point out when something is wrong. <br /><br />Yes, Kit, I believe he is one of those high functioning people with Aspergers, and more on the level of Einstein. Some of the stuff he talks about amazes me and others as well and that has been going on since he was a two years old.GrannyStandingforTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427949558167014793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387769022605188676.post-40642457668914584112010-06-19T07:43:41.616-07:002010-06-19T07:43:41.616-07:00Granny, first, that's really interesting about...Granny, first, that's really interesting about your grandson. He sounds like a high functioning Asperger's person. I've known quite a few, and they generally do extremely well in engineering, math, and some of the sciences. Hopefully he'll be fine throughout life.<br /><br />This story is very upsetting, beginning with the racial profiling phone call. I swear, the fears and/or hate of white folks causes us so much grief and grinds us down. People in my own family and those of my clients have been victims of racial profiling just like that case.<br /><br />The officer also did not act by the book. Technically, he had grounds based on that phone call to arrest him the young man immediately. But noooo, he wanted a discussion first, and got his feelings hurt and had his white privilege threatened when the kid told him he knew his rights and this was harassment, and walked away. Rights or not, a black or brown man who challenges a white cop is at risk. The way the barred his mother from seeing him until the school counselor intervened is also questionable from a legal standpoint. Reminds me of the gulags in old South Africa.<br /><br />I wonder if this poor kid is now in an over-medicated stupor in the mental institution that's doing a 30 day evaluation. I hope he's given a good, non-racist psychiatrist and clinical social worker, and I wonder if hospital is state run. If so they might get political and compound the problem with omissions of what this kid says or twists his words, in order to make the patient the sacrificial lamb to spare the county budget.<br /><br />Anyway, the mother has a new website and an online petition. It's here:<br /><br /><a href="http://avoiceforneli.com/" rel="nofollow">http://avoiceforneli.com/</a>Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387769022605188676.post-90102863805877343242010-06-18T18:50:33.296-07:002010-06-18T18:50:33.296-07:00They really can't help it, as far as they are ...They really can't help it, as far as they are concerned what they read in "articles" on places like fox news and hear from people like limbaugh is the only truth they need to know. Hell to them we aren't even really people, we are THINGS. They only deal with us if forced and always feel like somehow they did us a favor. And somehow while they may not have gotten through to us WE were better from having met them, even if we understood what they were talking about better then them and tried to show them the folly of their ways.<br /><br />The fact that this young boy was bright and intelligent was a threat, especially since a bright intelligent black man now sits in the oval office. They now see him in every young intelligent black kid walking the streets and it terrifies them. You can't say we are only SO smart anymore, because somebody proved to be smart period no " " needed, no disclaimers.<br /><br />I hope his parents sue the hell out of that police departmentPrimaldatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01835938456938540721noreply@blogger.com
