    Asperger's is a developmental disorder not a mental disorder and it in no way negates what she says.

    Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg has hit out at critics in an online post, describing her Asperger's diagnosis as a "superpower" that she has never tried to "hide behind".
    Her real superpower is apparently a preternatural ability to trigger grown men into acting like kids.

    And you know this how exactly?
    Because she states it herself.

    She's even given her mental disorder a pet name.

    Cute!

    ... and if anyone wants to jump my green credentials.

    We drive an LPG car ... a processing by-product which was previously burnt.

    We grow, as best we can our own veges. (keeps the food miles low)

    We have Solar Panels and, when the current Hot Water carks it ... will replace it with a solar/heat exchange.

    We compost almost everything.

    We ... bla bla

    ---

    But if I raise a voice against the persona of Greta Thunberg ... unleash the hell of Social Media

    WTF has she done?

    Sailed a yacht to the USA, not hers, contributed to the carbon in the atmosphere by having the borrowed yacht crew FLY to the USA to get it back home.

    Read an impassioned speech which obviously she didn't write (as the post interview attests to).

    Skipped School.

    ... and how will she get home now ... fucking swim
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    Asperger syndrome

    Asperger's syndrome is a condition on the autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning.
    People with this condition may be socially awkward and have an all-absorbing interest in specific topics.
    Communication training and behavioural therapy can help people with the syndrome learn to socialise more successfully.

    Cool, well you keep playing semantics and focusing on that then cos it definitely also invalidates everything she says and the science behind it.



    Yeah weird innit. Is that a mental disorder?

    Greta Thunberg: ‘The planet / environment is showing increasing signs of distress and we should do something about it’

    Allegedly Grown Men: ‘...I feel the compulsion to personally attack this child for how she looks / speaks / having a developmental disorder and, well, just for being a child’




    Also a mental disorder?

    I think it's maybe because she's Swedish, tbh. Weird people. Good at producing Tennis players, Eurovision Song Contest winners, pornography, and smoked herring though.

    They also have a Lemming-like need for authority, and actually queue up to get microchipped...

    I'd rather consider the message. Isn't that more important than a meaningless Twitter bio.

    We are in the beginning of a mass extinction
    First time I've seen someone put it like that.

    Much better than the very inaccurate 'Save The Planet'.

    As for me pointing out that an unbalanced child with a mental disorder shouldn't be put on show in front of the World, for her own good, that's not me attacking her.

    She has Asbergers syndrome a minor type of autism. But is nearly a savant in her ability to use and express herself in English, not her native tongue. She is simply a very strong willed and committed 16 year old girl. They have minds, very very strong minds indeed. Stubborn and think they know it all. Its symptomatic of just about all teens and stronger in girls. I know having raised two through this age and it was not an easy time. I admire her myself, and hopes she keeps on putting her point across. My two cents worth anyway.

    I didn't mention a specific child, it's an open question, you may answer.

    What is your position on children being put on show in front of the world, in a manner that they would/will be mocked and jeered?

    My position on that would be the people doing the mocking and jeering should probably take a good, long, hard look at themselves.

    Maybe question their life choices that led them to that point and / or query why they're so intent on attacking the messenger and ignoring the message.
