You actually sought advice from Phil Allison?! You must be Dimmer than we thought.

Phill is not a dill he is just not very nice to people.

Note tense: '...would have...'
Or possibly
I've worked with Autistic people and I'm not sure that description fits. This is more like sheer nastiness. Sometimes these charcateristics have no medical label -- just a commonsense one. But I don't claim to be a medico and may be wrong... Unlike Phil, who is never -- in his own view -- wrong.
Apols for spelling (typo)
I'm not sure if he is or not - but I do recognise what is familiar behavior to me. My GF's two sons have Aspergers' syndrome (a mild form of autism) - as do I.
I don't off the deep end like our mate Phil does, but one of the GF's sons does in a similar vein to Phil, albeit not quite as extreme. It seems to me to be a case of 'not suffering fools'... only taking it way, WAY too far beyond what is considered reasonable.
"Jeßus"
** Drivel.** Aspergers is a gross form of autism.
The character " Sheldon" on TV's Big Bang Theory is a classic example.
" .... the busses don't go where you live, do they ? "
Magma and Sylvia Else are also classic examples.
Plus 98% of all computer nerds.
.... Phil
Hmm... This analysis is itsekf reasonable. I suppose then it ought to be tolerated as you would someone with a broken leg, and I should take him out of the killfile, but I do object to my peaceful and pleasant home being filled jarred with his foul language and always-right philosophy. Perhaps not, then...
Apsergers and Autism are serious conditions that are picked up by doctors during childhood.
But you have some sort of hyperactivity or ASD disorder. No doubt about it.
OK, thanks for that Phil .
Problem is, you could make a case for tolerating almost any behaviour with that kind of argument. I guess we have to pick and choose who we tolerate and who we do not :)
Yep...
What a load of bullshit that is, unfortunately. I was diagnosed this year, at age 48 (although I'd already realised I had AS for at least two years), it's quite common for people to not get diagnosed until well into middle age or older.
Only in recent years has there been greater awareness... I'll wager the pendulum will swing too far the other way and there'll be plenty of misdiagnoses going on. Just like with ADD et al.
Diagnosis is generally made in childhood:
Apparently if this is missed it's difficult to pick it up in adulthood.
Don't worry Paul, it's the AS talking. ;)
Only recently.
Difficult only in the sense that by that stage most adults give up looking for an explanation as to why they're 'different'.
I wondered if somebody would say that...
Phill has a lot of useful advice, the problem is getting it without the invective.
Just listen to the core advice, the guy has life experience !!
