True, I wasn't defending you as much as I was attempting to enlighten
Kev.

No, I said that he couldn't reason with you because he thinks that your
thought processes/reasoning are similar to his and therefore he will
never be able to put himself in your shoes and reason with you in the
same way that he might with neuro-typicals.

I'm sorry about that but the state of California recognizes it as a
disability and thus any person with Asperger's Syndrome is quite
technically a disabled person. The line between disorder and disabled
is a thin one and I certainly did not intend to be offensive. I like
you look at my son and think at times that his condition is truly a
blessing.

>I am capable of recognizing various instances of wit.

I was more referring to the underlying sarcasm that was intended to be
witty so my wording was poor.
