Humanity has a penchant for making second class citizens of many Earth inhabitants, even including individuals of their own species. This dynamic is often something we recognise as prejudice and discrimination. When the human being puts themselves upon a pedestal over those they wish to conquer, destroy or enslave we recognise it as bigotry, among a plethora of other terms; racism, speciesism, class prejudice, homophobia, zoophobia, sexism, ablism…as the case may be dependant upon the victim of the discrimination.

As opposed to being concerned as to what unqualified, anthropocentric and clearly prejudice vested-interest groups “think” about individuals on Earth and their capability of forming social contracts and/or experiencing certain emotions, how about we evolve out of the age of supersition and begin to rely upon impartial science to answer those questions:

There exist numerous neurological scanners, congnitive analysis and comparitive techniques. Use them.
There exist blood-works with which to guage physiological response. Use them.
There exist evolutionary psychologies and cognitive scientists / neurologists. Use them.
There exist olfactory / visual stimuli and sensory apparatus. Use them.
There exist countless ethological video reference and evidence materials. Use them.

In context then, when I mention Aspergian traits, it is true that I am a lay person and cannot accurately define or characterise these, but I want these words to be used. We need to get used to them. We need to understand that they are also part of the rich tapestry of human beings that we come across in our daily lives. At least two of the musicians I work with are mildly aspergian. One of the congregants in my synagogue, a brilliant cancer researcher is Aspergian. It’s no badge of shame. The shame is when we hide from and fail to understand and accommodate people with different conditions into our normal lives. We must talk about these things. We must mention what they look like and how they manifest themselves. Once upon a time people in the school yard would have said “Oh, he’s such a space cadet”. Now, I’d hope kids are able to treat such people with respect and understanding by saying “Oh, she’s probably aspersion … that explains it”, and not make fun of them or disenfranchise them.

So, when I made that statement, I was doing quite the opposite of what you were suggesting. I was noting that such struggles and issues are in fact de jury. Let’s rejoice in our difference, accept that difference, and above all, let’s give each other the benefit of the doubt sometimes?
