Ok I would like to tell people about a condition that I know of.
Asperger syndrome has long since been considered a diesease by the vast population of the world. Those with the condition are avoided because of abnormal behavihour. I personally think this is a crime on our part, and I am now supporting its charity. Aspergers involves social difficulties, and they often find the world around them terrifying. They are frightened of everyday things, and loud noises, and are often claustrophobic. They are mostly clumsy, and though usually pretty intelligent, they dont understand reality the way the average person does.
These people are generally shunned from society. If they want to interact with their piers, they have to take lessons on how to be "normal" because that is the only way they can ever have any friends. Often lonliness and confusion can push them further into the depths of their disability, and they have to pretend they are people that they really are not. I know someone now with aspergers, and he is extremely nice, without a mean bone in his body. Some of the things he does are funny, and I think he is unused to having a friend who finds his antics amusing in a nice way, with no malice involved. and he actually has a sense of humour, which often makes me laugh. He is tormented and bullied at his school and regularly comes home crying. Lately people are starting to think of aspergers as a way of life, instead of a diesease that needs to be cured immediantly. I really hope this catches on because these people dont deserve that.
Thank you.
