Oh, for f**k sake, give him a break. Maybe he doesn't know much about Aspergers. Big deal. I'll give you a tip: not many people do. So what? Does that make him 'srupid and ignorant'?
And if you know anything about the subject, it might have been a good oportunity to do some community education right here on this forum. But, no, you chose to take some sort of moral high ground instead. Well done.

I do....
It a lot of tines isnt very noticeable. Unlike Autism which you tend to be able to pick a lot easier.
I dare say there are people in their 30s and up age who could be on the spectrum and wouldn't of been severe enough to be picked up back in the day.
Would even be a few on here with mild Asparagus and Autism traits.

And what was the point? Oh, yeah, to crucify someone who may not know much about a very little-known subject.I really should get with the program, eh?
OK, I'm out of this one. You've made some fair points lingard. It wasn't my intent to take the moral high ground, and I thought others posted some helpful info without me having to add anything there. It's obvious that there are some strong emotions behind personal experiences and we all live differently with those.

Am thinking of getting a new cleaner for my house. Sure she has burnt down two houses before mine, but apparently she does a great job. I’m sure it will be fine.
If supervised I'm sure she will. Just don't leave matches lying around the house.

Incorrect, Maybe go read a little on the matter before open your mouth. Very offensive to people who have kids, family members who have been diagnosed with this syndrome.

There are different variations and degrees associated with Aspergers Sydrome
Its a condition on the autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning.
People with this condition may be socially awkward and have an all-absorbing interest in specific topics.
Communication training and behavioural therapy can help people with the syndrome learn to socialise more successfully.
There are hundreds of clinical diagnoses on the Autism spectrum and varying degrees.
Its ignorant people who pass judement without the facts.
I have a brother with Asperger symptoms and does some really dumb things, like buying a slide on camper with one bed even tho he has a wife and child. They are now separated but I can't understand why.

The original comment was from Glenneel where he suggested Hastings had a personality problem, maybe aspergers. In fairness to you @lingard, I can see where you are coming from in trying to defend that comment. I'm going to say that Glenneel probably meant no offence, but it was stupid and ignorant to equate someone who by all accounts is a bit of a prick, with those who have a disability in the form of ASD.
I was simply suggesting Hastings may have Aspergers where people come across as uncaring or have difficulty with social interaction. Equally he may not, but he admits he has a problem, and if people know that they'll understand his behaviour better and treat him differently. If they treat him differently maybe his behaviour will also change for the better. That is all I'm suggesting as he is too good a player to throw on the scrap heap.

Fair enough. I arced up at equating a disability with a personality problem. I see your point. We all got a bit hot under the collar. I'm happy to leave it at that and move on. Game day!

So what position does this Ass Burger play and is he fat enough for our pack???
I so want to like this Hiney but to be perfectly honest I'm not game.
A) I dont have the time or inclination to debate the matter with those who are emotionally charged on the subject.
B) I dont wish to appear insensitive.
BUT
It did make me giggle. Lets keep that between us shall we?

I replied to your post Soren but now your just being a shit, much like your mate Bazal who is a bully. You and him make a good pair of dumb shits and as lingard says as soon as someone has a different view you reply with criticism and name calling to try to put people down. Just means you're unable (too dumb) to make a valid argument for your point. Bazal did the same to a new poster here, who called him out, and I think he left the site. Just proves how ignorant you both are.

Do you ever think about the people who set up this site? For supporters to use free of charge. Will I do and except for now have never tried to put people down. They put their time, energy and money into it to hopefully eventually make some money. The more clicks the more likely advertisers will come on board. People who continually bully people and turn them away need to modify their behaviour otherwise the mods need to ban them.
