Thank you. I'm Kari, btw: we've met briefly on others' ljs. I followed a link to your wonderful post. I've been on the receiving end of a lot of harassment over the years and the harassers have sometimes tried to play the 'poor little dysfunctional aspergers' me' card to excuse themselves. It doesn't work, not one bit: these guys may have problems, yes, but not on the ASD scale. Indeed, to a man, they have been manipulative and sneaky and all too aware of how to find and push buttons to get what they want. They get very short shrift indeed from me these days for trying the ASD label: it's abusive to those who genuinely have the condition.
