Aspergers or similar,,
Nope. No where near it. Tsk, tsk.
You are in denial lol
As the parent of a child who has Autism, I suspect I know a lot more about the Autism and the Aspberger's Spectrum than you do. I do not have either problem. Indeed, I am offended by your attempting to claim I do.

Im sorry to hear that Brian, There is increasing evidence that it is inherited, We have a friend with and autistic daughter, Her brother has two profoundly autistic sons, more than a coincident I would think,,
It may be inherited. It may not be. The court is still out on that one and will be for some time I suspect. Genetics is generally a slow, difficult science, despite all the media hype to the contrary. Autism might be conditional or it might be inheritable. We simply do not understand what causes it and even why the effects are so varied. "Autism" is a convenient label, just as "Aspberger's" under which to put a whole load of different symptoms.

It is a convenient label, It is a condition that has been blamed on vacines and other eviromental pollutants, I believe that is a result of peoples need to blame something or some one , I wish you the best Brian

It has been blamed on many things, however the "vaccines" claim is promulgated by the anti-vaxxers and found by Sydney Uni to be bullshit. The claim was that it was caused by a bad batch of vaccine in New Zealand and Sydney Uni carried out extensive tests and discovered it was bullshit, like most of what the anti-vaxxers claim about vaccines. IMHO it is a combination of genetics and environmental factors. Like many developmental problems.

Jesus Christ. I’m trying to talk about aboriginal issues, not autism.

My premise is that every single Australian who has voted “yes” to “when in Rome, do as the Roman’s do” with no caveats (such as, for example, colonisation was justified for x reason) is a hypocrite.

And yogi, I must be a very weird communist as I’m a massive trump fan.

Nearly all of us are hypocrites in one way or another, just most can't recognise let alone admit it.
Guess that puts me out of the running for sainthood? :mrgreen:

Assburgers may be the result of having to listen to Brian's drivel while knowing there is some of that gene pool floating around in you with the potential for your spine to yellow or completely dissolve at any moment.

For what it's worth, I believe in the statement "When in Rome, do as the Roman's do". I'd don a burka if I went to Afghanistan. I'm there as their guest, after all.

It's ridiculous however to think that a people who had made so much invention and innovation, run around in kangaroo skins, and play the didge, and return to a Hunter Gatherer lifestyle.

That does not mean we need to treat aboriginal people like shit.
