Fifteen Minutes to Wapner!

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:11:53): for my autism class I'm asking the man on the street about Autism Spectrum Disorder. I would appreciate your input.
Bigmouthfrikazee (13:12:26): or fill in the blanks
Bigmouthfrikazee (13:13:08): My second interviewee is a married 37-year old with no children that he knows of. When asked about ASD he said....
Bigmouthfrikazee (13:13:45): Asked about the origin of the disorder he said...
Defensemaster1 (13:14:00): I am not up on autism.

Defensemaster1 (13:14:26): Is it genetic?

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:20:51): which is what the question is

Defensemaster1 (13:21:05): OK, put me down as ignorant.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:21:08): lol

Defensemaster1 (13:21:09): Or apathetic.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:21:31): well.....what you know about autism, where have you learned it from?

Defensemaster1 (13:21:33): "The married 39-year old subject with no children that he knows of doesn't give a shit."

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:21:35): movies?

Defensemaster1 (13:21:49): Write that down, word for word.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:21:58): and I apologize, you re how old?

Defensemaster1 (13:22:13): Yeah, all I know about autism I learned from Rain Main in 1989.

Defensemaster1 (13:22:27): "15 minutes to Wapner."

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:22:27): when you were how old?

Defensemaster1 (13:22:33): Uh, 21.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:22:37): K mart

Defensemaster1 (13:22:39): I think it came out in 1989.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:24:21): lol.....I will let them know the interviewee seemed more apt to remember when Rainman, "the bible of autism", came out than to trace the roots of his knowledge of the topic. =))))

Defensemaster1 (13:24:27): I'm really clueless about it. Are the kids just hard to handle, or practically retarded, except for the 1 or 2 wonderful, magical abilities they possess, like ciphering ala Jethro Bodine?

Defensemaster1 (13:24:57): Is it genetic or caused by too much TV?

Defensemaster1 (13:25:01): I have no idea.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:25:07): They call it ASD, Autism spectrum disorder, because it is diverse

Defensemaster1 (13:25:10): Nor do I really care, as I have no kids with that problem.

Defensemaster1 (13:25:29): Nor do I know anyone with it.

Defensemaster1 (13:25:36): Except for Dustin Hoffman.

Defensemaster1 (13:26:39): I do remember the collection of youngsters in the "romper" room in Exira, but they were usually just fucked up like Mark Rydl or else plain stoopid.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:27:01): Autism seems to be generally associated with delays in speech or talking, repetitive procedures, the inability to know where to go or what to do once they get there, ect

Defensemaster1 (13:27:35): There was one chick who used to tear the wings off flies on the bus and watch them walk around on the seat, but I can't remember her name. They transferred her to the little bus upon arrival in town.

Defensemaster1 (13:27:48): Fuck, I think I have it!

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:28:08): The problem is that YOU DO

Defensemaster1 (13:28:15): Damn!

Defensemaster1 (13:28:24): 15 minutes to Wapner!

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:28:31): Doesn't that explain a lot though?

Defensemaster1 (13:28:51): Yeah...huh? What did you say? Are you chatting with me?

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:28:51): Don't use it as a crutch

Defensemaster1 (13:29:07): Fuck yeah, I'll try to get disability and retire now!

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:29:16): My friend, YOU DO NOT HAVE AUTISM

Defensemaster1 (13:29:27): 14 minutes to Wapner!

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:30:10): See the high thinking thinkers like DH is called Aspergers syndrome

Defensemaster1 (13:30:40): But he would be the exception, right? Aren't most just simply retards?

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:31:22): In the old days impoverished families used to leave their afflicted children to the wild......leading to their belief that they were showing mercy on the child.

Defensemaster1 (13:31:47): Works for me.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:32:05): numbers wise, 1 out of 150 have autism

Defensemaster1 (13:32:13): Or better yet, leave them in front of the K-Mart for cheap labor.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:32:32): that one can be anywhere along the spectrum

Defensemaster1 (13:32:44): This is all very interesting.

Bigmouthfrikazee (13:33:00): and yes, for them Kmart would be an ultimate goal

Defensemaster1 (13:33:12): Sure, everyone wins!
