It is possible, though unlikely, that you have not yet read this joke:
A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across, takes 11 cookies, looks at the Tea Partier, and says, "Look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."Credit to Gar Lipow for making my life 320% more awesome.

I was railing at my boss today for trying to make me read his mind. And I thought that it is not fair for me to simply present a link, without emphasising the parts which made me sit back and say to myself: “Yes, this.” So I shall pull out some particularly relevant sections from The Game of Breathing.
( Victimhood: the Aspie Wound )
( Specifity of Traits )
( Diagnosis, Skepticism and Ignorance )
But it's all relevant, and all good. Really.

And generally, this is a woman with Asperger's, who writes about her experiences.
I know that I feel resonance with what she is saying. And I think others reading may as well.

Brilliant!
Apr. 16th, 2010 11:43 amIn the comments to a post about a particularly egregious case of Pathological Libertarianism, there was this (possibly old) gem:
All political ideologies are "big tent" ideologies; Communists want the whole tent to themselves, capitalists want this whole tent AND someone else's, anarchists want a new tent and libertarians want to dismantle the tent while they're still in it.

I think it needs to be read by as many people as possible.
( I am autism, too. Thoughts on neurodiversity and the cure )
File this under: "I wish I had said that."
(PS: I should probably post the link, shouldn't I. Here.)
