blue_dreamer replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Glee's about stereotypes and its got it all wrong.
I am borderline Asperger's and haven't seen that bit yet, but Artie royally wound me up. Not so much the portrayal of the character but the fact the actor isn't wheelchair bound…"
TobyAGO replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"I understand why people can be really upset/offended by this new character. However, I think (hope?) that this is not necessary.First of all, I should mention that I haven't seen these episodes of glee yet, so I don't know how this…"

Any of you musicians out there should join this group and share your musical talent. I'm a trombonist, but the picture is just downright awesome.
"I compleatly agree with you. My ex-boyfriend has Asperger's and while I still love glee that girl absuloutly upsets me."
Devin Castro replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"That sentence was a stylistic attempt to reiterate your first sentence, which was incredibly insulting and seemed intentionally malevolent."
Kenny replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Yes, I know the whole joke is that the character is "self-diagnosed" and is just using this as an excuse. But it's not something to joke about.
And there are people who walk around with "self-diagnosed" Aspergers who…"
Abreo replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"For those who have never heard of AS before, and those who say that I'm overreacting, I suggest you take the time to educate yourself.
Read: only uneducated people could possibly disagree with me. "
Abreo replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Well, I read Abreo's response and I can tell you that you should feel free to conclude that his reply doesn't matter and that you don't care.
It's nice to know you have the special ability to speak for others. While…"
Abreo replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Unless you watch it just to be ironic.
It would be really hard to watch it though if you don't love it. I have respect for any hipsters who are able to work through every episode of that show."
Eli V replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"I have to disagree on the point of whether Glee should make fun of a topic purely based on the firm belief that everything is something that should be made fun of.
As for the character with Asperger's, you make a very good point. She…"
Eli V replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"I've never met a hipster who watches Glee. Watching Glee takes a fair amount of genuine excitement over seeing people sing and dance, something hipsters tend to lack."
God ~blogs/forums admin ~ replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Having spent most - if not the whole of my time- of my time during my shcool with kids with learning disabilities ranging from server Autism, to lower and less 'aggressive' AS. By aggressive, I mean their dash of AS…"
Tardis Tasha replied to Wendy Kronenberg's discussion Glee's portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome"Also, the actress said she shot three episodes, so maybe her storyline will become more developed."
