An intelligent person would know that you use a poorly constructed post hoc fallacy to try and convince people that: Asperger’s is the reason that the economy isn’t doing well. Wow, I cannot believe that is your opinion. I found this page by searching: Asperger’s help, and this is what I find on the first page? Yes, you write well. But I can only conclude that you’re an idiot or have alterior motives against people on the autism spectrum.

Please, there are a lot of people out there that believe this stuff, which I see written everywhere. Still you persist, and you have no idea the consequences. Or maybe you do. Tell me, what else should I say. I should sue you for libel. Do I see a class action lawsuite. I think I’m going to go to the wrongplanet forums, a place where aspies chat, and advocate for that, and then contact a lawyer. I’m that pissed off. Defamation of character based on disability is no better than saying: Black people, are they the cause of all the crime in the world? I want to make it clear to the author of this article that he is the scum of the world in my opinion.

As an Aspie, it was very easy for me to ignore the social convention of “It’s AAA so it’s riskless.” I evaluated how severe an event a AAA-level shock is, concluded that such an event had indeed occurred and therefore that AAA CMOs are at very least severely impaired.

It was also very easy to ignore criticism from NTs who couldn’t accept it. And to understand the models’ failings – something that NT managers clearly couldn’t.

Have a think about how many Aspies were skeptical / critical of rating models relative to the population and then try and tell me it’s our fault.

Not all folk’s with Asperger’s/High Functioning Autism are completely devoid of understanding for others. I’d say there are just as many folk’s per capita. That could be considered “Neurotypical” as those with “Asperger’s” that, are insencetive as hell to other’s needs. There’s been quite a lot of research done in the field of Asperger’s by “actual Psychiatrist’s” and not mindless businessmen blogging as in this article. Who will tell you that those of “US” with “Asperger’s” are known to be a lot more caring to other’s needs and highly empathetic. Than what “psydo-head-in-rear” types like the above blogger claims.

And how would I know this besides doing a whole hell of a lot of reading. I would know it from personal experiance as, I do indeed have “Asperger’s Syndrome” myself.

On the matter of Banking and Investment Strategies. You can thank both “Ronald Reagan” and “Bill Clinton” BOTH for taking apart the necessary rules and regulation’s. That “FDR’s Administration” labored so hard on so, to assure the avoidance another Great Depression/Recession. Don’t get me wrong FDR had his own screw-up’s. But, those regs & rules would’ve most likely of protected us from what’s happened so far.

The Capitalist economy and banking system require infinitely expanding resources to be sustainable the math is stupidly simple if you know how it works (or doesn’t as is the case long term).

You shouldn’t blame the person who released the valve, regardless of if they intended to do so, or if they have Aspergers. The problem was there since the buildup of pressure, and it’s still there now and will remain there after the recession.

That is even when we are out of the recession another recession afterwards is inevitable and they will become worse, longer and more frequent until technology (people with Aspergers LOL) comes to the rescue by expanding the resources we can draw from our environment, or by giving us access to new environments from which to draw resources (IE space).

Or alternatively the problems could be staved off for an extremely long time through a mass culling of the worlds populatation.

Also you can’t blame those who created contributed to the system because at certain times in history (when available resources were expanding fast enough) it worked really really well. So really it was an overall failure to proactively alter or replace the system that already makes it enevitable before bankers actions prevented us from burrying our heads in the sand any longer.

Looking at articles from James Saft back in late 2007 and early 2008, the US$ was predicted to decline, emerging markets were to outperform developed markets. The exact opposite happened. UK house prices were to fall by as much as 35-40%. They appear to have fallen by single digits and since stabilized.

I think this is an inane piece. There is no more “Asperger’s” now than there always has been and will be. Bankers and economists missed their own charlatanism. Journalists hyped up whatever was the consensus panic of the time, had no better insight than the prevailing popular opinion of the moment.
