I'm almost 60 and only just recently discovered that I've got Asperger's syndrome. It's not pronounced, but it's one of those things that you can't unsee once it's been pointed out to you. The problem is that i had a few friends point it out to me over a decade ago, and I had no inclination to entertain such an idiotic claim.

The medical community doesn't want to be confused by the facts, and neither does the rest of this hopelessly deluded, distracted, eagerly deceived planet. I NEVER bring up the subject of vaccines, politics, health care, etc., but when someone else does it doesn't take more than a few seconds of a few simple easily verifiable facts presented for their edification before their dismissive hand waving lets me know that they're not interested in the truth.
I'm learning how to not only respect a world dead set on embracing the security of ignorance, but the fact that shooting my mouth off is going to get me into a lot of trouble one of these days. I'm learning to nod in agreement and keep my mouth shut. I'm learning that my sense of self-preservation trumps any desire to wake up those who seek the dreamless sleep of the damned.
