A few years back he pretty much admitted he had Asperger's. Plus, after a few years patience and understanding, and an untold number of complete and utter freakouts, things give way to loathing. Hence, ridicule.
I have a cousin who has Asperger's, yes, I am serious. It has been a struggle not to ridicule
her when she acts like a total jerk, but I don't do it. You know why? Not just because
she is family, but because when people have a disability they cannot help but be the way
they are! That does not entitle me or anybody else to ridicule them behind their backs because
we don't like the way they behave. There's nothing amusing about belittling somebody or acting
condescending when they may very well feel they are justified for feeling the way they do.
When somebody behaves badly, I tend to want to reach out to that person. I tend to understand
the way a lot of people feel. I feel like sometimes I am an outcast and I'm not welcome anywhere,
so because of that I tend to reach out to the people who look like they're renegades but who at the
same time are vulnerable and are constantly picked on. My parents always taught me since i was
little that I should try and protect people who need it.
