I didn't read this whole thread but are people really justifying a kid who weighs over 250# beating up a kid who weighs 70# to within a hair of his life?
No one is really "justifying it", but there seems to be a lot of, "that's a shitty thing to do, but Aspys say dumb things sometimes since they tend to be assholes".
I'm really amazed that so many posters believe this. I'm also amazed at how many people easily become clinical psychologists and immediately diagnose Aspergers because some kid was doing "X". Never mind that Aspergers presents in dozens of different ways, I just know he has it!

Eh, I think you're looking at it in the wrong way. Some posters are saying that, but if you're around here often enough, you should know who to ignore.
A couple of the posters discussing it have special needs/autistic children as well.. just FYI in case you weren't aware.
I don't think they're saying it to blanket people or be a dick about it. I think they're saying that many people don't realize when they're interacting with a person who has Asperger's. And if you're not aware that they can't help how they're acting, you might write them off as an a-hole or any other quality they're exhibiting.
I saw the posts as more of an awareness type of thing... "don't jump to beating someone's face in when they're rude or weird because you don't know why they're behaving that way".

a-hole=a lack of reading social situations and reacting with calculation. (To adults, ab adults)
In children it's more innocent bc all kids do that to a certain degree. Normal kids grow up and learn how to react, AS kids don't (to different degrees).
People just notice the more vocal ones. I don't think anyone is saying that everyone with AS is an a-hole. Just that compared to normal standards, they stand out as something different. A little or a lot more unfiltered. (Which most adults see as "a-hole")
And yep, baby drinks has a whole list of issues. I mean no disrespect. It's good for people to be aware of all possibilities.
