I know! Time flies, doesn’t it??
Stop trying so hard to hold back your excitement.
How much “raping” do you do, exactly?
So if it’s ok to rape someone because you have aspergers is it therefore ok to rape someone WITH aspergers?
Need answer fast.
This is a joke post… right?
OP… PLEASE PLEASE tell me you have a mullet and drive an old Camaro!

How does this not make any sense to you fuckers if I’m getting all three charges dropped? I’m expunging my record once its clean.
Getting the charges dropped isn’t the same thing as having your record expunged.
You also don’t just get to walk out of jail free if the insanity defense works – you’ll have to spend time in a mental facility. John Hinckley Jr, the guy who shot Reagan, was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1980, and he’s still locked up. So even if Aspergers WAS a successful defense in a rape trial, the accused would probably be considered a danger to himself and others and sentenced to a mental hospital.
Be careful what you wish for.
Do you not see the difference between what you did and rape? Just because you can drive while on alprazolam and drink beers in your driveway and get the charges dropped doesn’t mean you can go out and rape people without repercussions.
Mods, please don’t ban this guy, he’s too much fun!
It’s against the rules here to call others names outside of the forum “The BBQ Pit”, so don’t do this again.
Furthermore, I suggest you may want to take a step back and think about what you’re posting before you post it.
From what and how you wrote I could easily see you being exonerated. I could also see you being guilty as sin. You are all over the place. Obviously if you are writing truthfully you have a lot more problems than aspergers. But I have doubts about the truthiness. It seems in your rush to bring your story to a denouement you are envisioning a court system that brings cases to a conclusion in a couple weeks.
I must agree - this smells more like bad fiction than reality. I think Loach is dead on with respect to the speed with which the courts appear to be working in this story.
Bonjour!
I don’t think it is deliberate fiction, although I could be wrong. I just don’t think the OP is paying all that much attention to what is going on around him.
And I don’t recall Xanax being routinely prescribed for Asperger’s. There might be a wee bit more going on in the OP’s story besides the ingestion of beer and prescription drugs.

(bolding in the quote is mine)
I’ve worked with a few people that have has aspergers and looked up some info on the condition to help me understand and deal with them better. One thing I have personally noticed is an inability to process or follow new instructions. One time I told a co-worker “our supervisor asked that you stop doing X”. He kept repeating it, and every time it would get more and more turned around until it became the exact opposite of what I’d told him. It’s not “not paying attention”, it’s an inability to process it correctly.
I can’t tell from the OP’s story whether he was actually drinking when he first left work at 7:30, but his co-workers reported him for it. He knows this because they told other people at the store that they reported him. He thinks that it was wrong for the police to “stop” him based on his co-workers reporting him. OP has a faulty understanding of police procedures and the reasons they can and can not stop you. His lawyer probably explained this to him, but he doesn’t understand it.
He says he failed a field sobriety test because of his aspergers (inability to follow instructions). This is consistent with what I know about aspergers but again, I don’t have medical expertise on the subject or knowledge of the OP’s condition.
He was given tests for alcohol and was not over the limit but some time passed between him being approached in his driveway and the test. If he was very skinny enough time might have passed that the alcohol was no longer in his system.
He was charged with a DUI based on the Xanax in his system. The charges were or will be dropped because he has a scrip for it.
So ogional if your DUI charges were/are dropped, what are the remaining charges against you? Were you drinking when you left work at 7:30? If not, why did your co-workers report you?
Pardon my ignorance, but if you are not able to process instructions correctly, how do you hold down a job?
Too late to edit, but wanted to add that I seriously doubt aspergers could be successfully used as a defense against rape or other criminal charges. If you are unable to understand right from wrong, then you should be in a home where you can get treatment and help without being a danger to the public or to yourself.
I can see situations where aspergers or other conditions may be read by the police as under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and they may use that against you. But if you’ve done nothing wrong then you should be able to get it cleared up once they have medical evidence of your condition.
It’s great that you got a lawyer. Listen to him and do what he says. He has a much clearer understanding of the law and the process than you do.

It’s hard to explain, and I wasn’t there when he was hired. I don’t know how they trained him in the first place.But he works extremely fast and gets a lot done. However, he makes a lot of mistakes and does many things incorrectly. Every time they’ve tried to correct him he gets very very upset and claims they are “picking on him” for no reason. He has a complete inability to accept change or do anything different.
As you say (and I agree with you) this is going to be a problem for the OP.

Although its not close to being conclusive, the fact that he joined just to post this thread makes me think otherwise.
Well, of course that is possible, but I’m thinking his attention span is not to be measured in eons.
