Netanyahu and aspergers

[Anonymous]

People with Asperger's, like my son and husband, can appear extremely knowledgeable and professorial in their manner and language, and intent on certain aspects of a topic under discussion, sometimes missing the forest for the trees. They definitely care more for the actual topic than for the necessary social politeness surrounding such meetings.

It is extremely rude for one country's administration to imply this about another country's public figure.

As someone with an Asperger DS, I do not like the term used casually as an epithet.

That said, I think that Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace, and an epithet uttered by an unnamed administration official is not going to change my view of the political situation.

Rude and ignorant.
