I really wouldn't let it concern you, or any one of us here.
The last one was the Batman Shooter...
This one is the Aspie Madman...
The next one will be the Cling Wrap Killer or the Myopic Murderer or the One Legged Arsonist...
Put simply it is the flavour of the month, the newshounds are doing their job well too, I mean, it got all of you to come in here and tell me all about something I would never have known about because I live on the other side of the world with my own problems, in my own community, in my own country. Look, it is just sweeping sensationalism at it's best and we all buy into it everyday, a tagline like this latest one makes you think, question and discuss but there are people that will rush to say it isn’t so, like in that article.
There is nothing more to it really, people with Aspergers are not going to be loaded onto buses tomorrow to be taken away to special camps, nor do a select few of us get to go to a special school run by a wheelchair bound bald man, to enhance and utilise our Aspergical talents for the good off all mankind. Tomorrow you will still be you, Aspergers will still be Aspergers and people will still run around shooting other people it seems, not a lot is going to change unfortunately.
The media will also concentrate all their efforts on trying to convince you the next new tragedy is the worst one ever and they will play another angle that makes you fearful and leaves you wanting to find out more. Ever heard the saying that even bad publicity is good publicity?
I have to think that anything that makes people want to find out more about Aspergers will lead them to gain an informed knowledge based in fact ; ]
