OFFICIAL SAS 90s REMEMBERER
Autism is a difference in mental capacity. It is a disease in that it prevents full participation in society, compared to a person who is merely dull. Does that make these individuals necessarily ill? Just the opposite; I think all of us know at least one somewhat autistic person (:rolleye:), who holds an everyday job, and lives on their own perfectly well. The term "mental illness", I feel, does not really apply to those along the autism spectrum. I would consider it more apt towards someone with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or even OCD. Surely, some people with autism will require care beyond their own capacity. I'm not sure there's really a way to qualify that!

As for that woman - she sucks. Murder is bad. :geno:
