That depends on the person, though. A lot of people are like you describe.

But I've also met people online who used their mental health problems as a sort of excuse that put them beyond criticism. As in, any time anyone dared to disagree with them or call them out on something, they would go all "I CAN'T HELP IT I HAVE X ISSUE" or "I HAVE X PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHILE TALKING TO ME YOU INSENSITIVE ASS"

And you know what? 90% of the time that actually fucking works, because nobody wants to be the asshole who picks on a mental health patient. As a person who deals with mental health problems myself, I say fuck. that. shit.

I just realized something: the second type of person is [livejournal.com profile] theo_harrison in a nut shell. That explains why I can't stand him.

Chick who said everyone in New Orleans should've outwalked Hurricane Katrina even if it meant leaving behind elderly relatives or their own children. Then hid behind her Asperger's and how she doesn't understand society when the proverbial shit hit the fan. She tends to use her Asperger's as an excuse for why she doesn't get it (no matter how hard she tries!) whenever someone calls her out on her shit.

woah. like, woah.

reading her journal rn and wanting to slap her, tbh.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-26 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
She has that effect on people.

Funny. I never mentioned AS at all during that entire wank, and whenever someone claims that I hide behind it, they're never able to cite examples. I don't hide behind anything. I've never used AS as an excuse for anything, and simply because I'm open about my diagnosis is not the same thing at all.

Either cite examples or shut up.

I saw that kind of shit behavior in an old fandom of mine.

Me, I don't give a shit if you have Asperger's, are autistic or whatever. If you tell me, I'll shrug and be like "Okay." But if you use it constantly as an excuse to be a stupid prick to everyone else, fuck you and the horse you rode in on. I have friends with those same disorders who'd never do that kind of crap, and if you're a very low functioning autistic, you shouldn't be picking fights on the internet anyway.

Thank you for this!

Thank you - you put in words my thoughts on this one.
