asperger, I want this t-shirt:
"This is a cat. Not a defective dog. It's very happy being a cat."
The sentiment applies well to neurology, but hardly stops there. I've been putting in a good bit of work, trying to evict some of the Defective Dog rubbish from my head. (The absolute surface level of a slightly different brand of it is touched upon here.) It's more generally applicable than this one I've already got, which mostly leaves people scratching their heads here. *g*#
On a similar note, I don't think I've pushed Bev's Autistic Awareness videos here so far, but I hope she turns out some more before long.

# Granted, that one--and this, which I don't have--do take on a different level of meaning when a lot of your family just let nosy outsiders assume they were Irish. Because they could. Those messages work better back home, in context. ;)
