My good friend gave me a book for my birthday, well, you all know this book.
And suddenly, I started to get fired up from the very beginning.
Now I want to share a fragment of Karl's statement. I think I've already read about it somewhere, but now I want to speak in the context of Karl's phrase.
The more I learn about him, the more disappointed I become.
And auto-translated for you
Let me explain.
Even if this is true a hundred times (in general, we already here understand it anyway), but that doesn't give you the right, Karl, to speak publicly about it.
Autistic friends? Friends, Karl?!
The book was published in 2010, it's not the same years as now, not the open and tolerant. People do not yet have any conditionally positive representation of neurodivergent people. They don't even have a clue what it is at all.
The audience of this book at that time was obviously very adult people who did not understand anything about psychology and were most likely skeptical about it.
Every mental diagnosis is perceived negatively by people and as a stigma in life.
And then Karl, completely without giving a damn, and without asking, points out that Ralf and Florian have a disorder (and it doesn't even matter if it was officially recorded in their medical records). Awesome.
Do you call yourself their friend after reporting about theirs disorder to the whole world behind their backs, backs of those guys who are very sensitive, who always try to keep a low profile and being not in public, and trying to keep theirs private life closed? Do you really think friends do that?
I'm shocked, pals. To the depths of my soul.
And this is just one of several things that have already pissed me off in the first 30 pages.
If you're interested, I can continue to write notes as I read the book.
