Talk:Aspergers (CWCipedia article)
Categorize this. I was thinking of making a regular Asperger's article but I think it's alright to have this article here since it summarizes Chris's views on Asperger's and why he dislikes ass pies in addition to a regular article to chronicle the drama about Asperger's. --Champthom 06:30, 5 December 2009 (CET)
- Categories added. I figured that since Chris made the post it was important to document it, but I didn't want to take up the title "Aspergers" with this or do a redirect with that title in case someone wanted to make a general article on Asperger's Syndrome and Chris's views about the subject.

An obscure passage
Anyone have any idea what Chris is getting at towards the end of this passage:
"The people who first evaluated me ever even stated that I would never even make it to High School, much less even Write His Name. Take That and Smoke It, oldest doctors."
"Write His Name"? "Take That and Smoke It, oldest doctors"? WHUT?! Llort 07:30, 5 December 2009 (CET)
- Chris is probably dramatizing what the doctors said about him. I'd imagine they probably did say he'd need special schooling and couldn't make it in a regular high school, but as far as not being able to write his own name? He was already in elementary school when this was discussed, so I imagine he could already do that at the time.
- And "take that and smoke it" is Chris telling off those who diagnosed him by butchering the cliche, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it." In other words, "so there!" Alteceastlansing 07:46, 5 December 2009 (CET)
A revealing line
Noteworthy for a different reason is the very next line:
"I have worked very hard to achieve and maintain Honor Roll throughout Middle and High School, and even to make the PVCC Dean's List, and fulfill my parents' wishes to work for and earn the Degree and Certificate for Computer Aided Drafting and Design."
That's right: not "I worked", but "I have worked". Chris earned his CADD degree over three years ago, and that's the most recent of the several "accomplishments" that he lists... yet he's still referring to all of these deeds in the present perfect tense instead of the preterite. I mean, the syntax of his sentences alone is revealing just how much he's living in the past! Llort 07:30, 5 December 2009 (CET)
I think the last part is especially revealing. To "fulfill [his] parents' wishes"? That he earned the degree not for his own benefit but because his parents wanted him to do it shows that he is content to stagnate and make nothing of himself. Not that we didn't know that, but it's interesting to see him admit it, oblique though his admission may be. --Doomknight 09:28, 5 December 2009 (CET)
Chris showing his superiority by insisting on his social inferiority?
"They think they can one-up, or even match, autism with the Lack of Social Capability and their Clumsiness and such."

I think what Chris is trying to get at is that ASS PIES raise the bar for autistics and that means people will have higher expectations for people like Chris. --Champthom 09:06, 5 December 2009 (CET)
Yeah, I'm sure it enrages him to know, thanks to the existence of Asperger's Syndrome, that there are autistic males who have a lot of friends, get positive female attention, and look like this (yours truly): [1] --Doomknight 09:23, 5 December 2009 (CET)
How far will this little piece bring us?
- He's done it! Finally! Those DAMN and SLANDEROUS Asperger's hogging al MY attention! This piece of comedy gold is so incredibly hilarious to me I don't know where to begin. Every time I read a bit I start laughing my ass off. Please keep up the pinning with Asperger's, because I smell a Youtube rant coming. --Hayate666 11:10, 5 December 2009 (CET)
WAT
And to think I had some small piece of pity for CWC before that, some troll's remorse maybe... Oh dear. It's somehow even worse than the "Gay Gene curing" thing, maybe because the latter sounds too fantastic and over-the-top. But this... oh man. Chris, what the fuck.
Not to be too offtopic, a suggestion: maybe we could make a middle-sized article named something like "Chris's intolerance"/"Chris and intolerance"/"Chris's Kampf"/whatever. In it we could make a list (with links) of all examples of Chris's intolerance - racial, sexual, religious, or medical. This list could give people a quick overview of the levels of Chris's intolerance in general, while specific articles (like this one, Niggos, Homos, etc.) would examine each type in depth. How about this, guys? --GokuGetEm 12:59, 5 December 2009 (CET)
