beulahbondo's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asp Burgers [Blonking with Kitty, part the 2) K Speaking of childrens, I am reading a book called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time." Have you heard of it? Narrator is a 15 y o kid with Asperger Syndrome. B Oh yes, I loved that book! I use Aspergery a lot as an adjective. i don't mean to be callous, but since i read that and other things about A.S., I realize that I know a LOT of people with it. K You should just call those people Ass Burgers. That will set them apart from regular savants and/or mongs. B They can be assy. B Asp burgers. B Mongs! Downsies! K I don't know whether I know any A S sufferers. [Boyfriend] thinks he has a touch of it. He is a list maker for sure, and very logical sometimes, and very good at mathS and crosswords and things. B But the classic symptom, i think, is the lack of empathy and inability to read facial expressions. K But he is also socially capable and likes being touched, so I think he isn't a real one. I don't think being a suicide hotline person would work if he really had it.
