[QUOTE="Tuzenbach, post: 3678528, member: 16155"] I didn't make this abundantly clear in my previous post, but Mindset definately is NOT a jerk. He's simply lacking in social skills. I liken it to the interaction between Mr. Spock & the shuttle crew in the Star Trek episode "The Gallileo Seven". In Spock's view, he did everything in the exact, correct way, yet everybody was pi$$ed at him & nothing was turning out as planned. And he couldn't figure out why. One of the more obvious signs of Asperger's Syndrome is a failure to recognize when either your words or actions hurt those around you. Mindset stood there and kept saying those words to Limelight until she broke down & cried and he didn't seem to be either concerned or apologetic. It's as if (a) he didn't realize he was causing her pain, or (b) her being in pain was inconseqential to Mindset. Either way, persons of this "mindset" believe that everybody should be like them, never vice versa. Thus, neither empathy nor sympathy will ever be a motivation for them. It doesn't mean these people are "jerks", because they aren't "choosing to be mean". Rather, they're being who they are regardless of how it affects those around them. And their way is, according to themselves, the best way to exist. Additionally, person's with Asperger's Syndrome cannot knowingly tell lies, regardless of the outcome. They're not "bad" people, they're just who they are. Because they'll never possess the ability to understand us, we have to put forth the effort to understand them. OK, you're the second person to state this. As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I generally don't hold cops in high esteem. But seriously, the guy is married & has children. The last thing he's going to do is flirt with a girl half his age on national TV. Maybe I'm stereotyping him, but that's the LAST thing a cop would do...... [/QUOTE]
