User ID: 19168576 United States 01/04/2013 07:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I spoke to a psychiatrist recently who said that the true instance of Aspberger's/autism in society is only three people in every thousand. But people want to think their nerdy or socially awkward kids are "special" somehow, so there is a push for doctors to give this bullshit diagnosis. That is part of the reason "Aspberger's" will be removed from the upcoming DSM manual and will no longer be considered a true condition. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 700055 And I am sick of parents saying their kids are "brilliant" or "genius." No, dumbfuck, they are not. Schools are so dumbed down now and TRUE competition is politically incorrect, so everyone gets a gold star on their forehead and everyone is a little genius. You know what "Genius" means literally? "One who generates" or creates something totally new. Like Michaelangelo. Like DaVinci. Not like your dorky son. What has he created? And don't tell me something like a computer program or app that doesn't do anything special. Unless he has created a world-shaking new innovation on the level of a Renaissance master he is not a "Genius." Yeah, its easy to pretend to be a misunderstood genius with a tragically flawed mental condition that absolves him of all responsibility, so he can mope around his room and eat hot pockets that mommy makes. Here's a clue: He's malingering, and you are enabling him. What he really needs is an ass-kicking, to the curb...followed by honest work in the real world shoveling shit or making fries or whatever...just as long as he is producting something of use to society. Take away all the electronic crap, take away the donuts and the free roof over his head, beat the shit out of him, and tell him not to come back until he has accomplished something on his own. End of fucking story. You are cruel. I second that. Sigh. :kitten on fence: |
