ISG.com wouldn't allow crap like that on their website. I haven't been back to Ericksons site since my "meltdown" so I haven't read his latest criticism. I found a description of our disease. I think it describes O.B. Left really well. Quote: Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.[1][2] Normally, Asperger disease afflicts TGM followers and their leaders; especially GSED's and people that operate TGM websites, including their staff and anyone named "O.B. Left". (*) Asperger syndrome is also called Asperger's syndrome,[1] Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder,[3][4] or just Asperger's;[5] it is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[6] Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.[7] For example, there is lingering doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[8] partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1] (*) just kidding.
