I think you mean The Glorious Corporate Game...


As to biting...my friend was and is a wonderful parent, but at that time in his life, it made no difference, such was his distress over things happening to him at school, which he was not able to put into words easily...

And,for the record, a woman I got to know a while back, told me of her son, also diagnosed with Aspergers. She had been terrified of him when he was younger, before she finally got help and a diagnosis. He tried to stab her many times over with a bread knife or other implements he could find. She ended up on medication...in a terrible state, but she stood beside him and eventually help WAS given to them both.

She arranged for me to meet him....I asked him what had caused the pain..and he told me had developed this terrible anger towards his mother, because she made him go to school each day, where he was terrified out of his wits...That anger grew and grew, for he loved her dearly, as she did him...and he felt torn apart that the very person who was supposed to protect him the most, was the very one who was causing him so much pain.

Now, he winces at what he did..feels terrible. He still struggles and can still get very angry, but he has learnt to control it..and for the most part he is kind, gentle and quiet, working with others who have learning/emotional/mental difficulties and being very happy with his work, for he relates so well to their problems.

It is NOT normal to bite people and I'm sorry to disagree on this one, Eliza, as I normally agree with much that you say, but in this instance, I think you are wrong.
