Right. Read all about the latest disease "invented" by American psychiatrists, i.e. Asperger's syndrome or chronic social awkwardness. Such people, it is claimed, have difficulty reading social cues, which is something that appears to come 'naturally' to most other normal people. They often appear undiplomatic, crave social acceptance yet never get it.
Erm, that sounds a bit like me. Or like me when I was a kid. Wow, so am I an "Aspie" now too? But for Janet and Eric Jorgensen, the diagnosis helped smooth out the rough edges. Ms. Jorgensen, attending a conference to learn more about her autistic son, said it was like "a light coming on" when she heard that adult family members were often given diagnoses only after a child had been identified as being on the autism spectrum. "It just sort of hit me, `That explains Eric,' " she said. He still says things that are callous, at least on the surface. "She'll say something about how terrible her clothes look," Mr. Jorgensen explains. "I'll say, `Yes, honey, those are terrible-looking clothes,' when really she's wanting some affirmation that her clothes don't look terrible." Uhm, that sounds a bit like Toni. Or like most men I've known. Which guy out there knows how to naturally compliment a girl from birth? This just sounds phony to me.
