As a raving loon myself, I object to the idea that we need special treatment. **KGS** posted an OP in the Pit and should face the consequences. Speaking for myself, I find the way his mind works fascinating. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > If he/she has Asberger’s, you’re playing something like 3-1 odds. Those aren’t terrible odds. I already know a woman with (real) Aspberger’s; I don’t feel it would require a strike of lighting. But anyway that’s one of the reasons I think female. The speech patterns are much more effervescent, effusive and demonstrative than I usually see in male Aspies. Doesn’t mean anything really, a male could easily be that way, I was just surprised to see everyone defaulting to a different assumption. Guys of any kind of neurostatus don’t generally call people stuff like “my dear” when angry with them, do they? The tendency to become condescendingly maternal in response to criticism is one I associate with women, I suppose. ---

Okay, I give. I’m tapping out. Uncle. KGS is filled with awe and glee. The music has stopped, I’m standing here, and there is no chair. So I’m out. I am reminded of an episode of Law and Order in which McCoy prosecutes a case against some teenage boys who have obviously raped a mentally challenged girl. The twist comes at the end (where else?) when during her testimony she angrily denies being raped, asserting that she wanted to feel love like everyone else. Case closed. I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t see this coming either… My apologies. ---

Sorry you feel that way. If I’m really not that important to you, why do you keep responding?

**Hamadryad** has a _wife_? Interesting. ---

The twist comes at the end (where else?) when during her testimony she angrily denies being raped, asserting that she wanted to feel love like everyone else. Case closed. Actually, the boys were convicted but the judge set aside the jury’s verdict; correctly, I thought. I’m somewhat skittish over the idea that because of Skoda’s evaluation of her mental state, this girl (18 years old, incidentally) can apparently _never_ give informed consent to sex, even if it’s with some creeps from her high school. ---
