Social categorisation for beginners

[andrewducker]

1.) People who don't grok social cues = Asperger's Syndrome
2.) People who see, yet choose not to acknowledge social cues = Quite possibly Sociopathic
3.) People who only use social "cues" (hints) to communicate = Passive Aggressive

Actually, I'd say 100% of those.

Mysteriously none of the self-diagnosing types dare to speak up about the terrifying stigma that they live with to anyone other than livejournal, myspace, deadjournal, internet fora, mailing lists and random strangers in nightclubs. It is a plague for our postmodern times.

I knew one chap who -actually- had been diagnosed with SAD. In the winter months, he'd turn up to work wearing a baseball cap with a little light on the underside of the bill. That, obviously, was how we found out - it led to questions, and then answers. I also know a lot of people who are looking for an excuse for shitty social skills, or are just jumping on a bandwagon. Line it right up with the usual other "OMG I suffer from ______ like all my online friends" suspects

Oh they talk about it lots to the DSS, and their directors of studies..

BTW which of the three are you Andy? Shouldn't this have been a poll? :-P
