Aspergers High

  • Asperger's Syndrome

I don't watch a whole lot of TV, so I was surprised when my wife sent me this link for the  "Aspergers High" parody video. We all know TV-land loves to embrace certain subsets of society. We've gone through the "Single Dads", "Two dudes with Kids", "Gays", "Lesbians", "Downs Syndrome", "Alcoholics" and more.

 It seems now that the airing of a Parenthood episode has stirred up the latest fad, "Aspergers". I suppose those of us actually landing on the autistic spectrum will be amused with our 15 minutes of fame. The clip echoes many of the scenes from "Mozart and the Whale".  It's good to see a little press for the condition though. I get worn out trying to explain it to people. Most of the time they think I'm inventing something so I can be a victim.
