Actually, Ron thinks that anyone who disagrees with him is autistic.No, it's the way some railfans insist that they are right, and they know the best, that could be interpreted as autistic behaviour. Most people let the argument drop after a certain number of retries at convincing people. Others, like a British Bulldog, will not drop the argument even though it is clear that the other person isn't listening or don't care. This failure to pick up social cues is one of the many symptoms of autism. Usually, Ron doesn't roll out the "autistic" word until the person who he is arguing with has persistently disagreed with him more than four times on the same subject, without adding substantively to their PROFF or initial assertion. However, Ron's insistence that someone is "autistic" despite its being clear to the rest of us that no one in fact cares whether that person is autistic or not, could also be interpreted as autistic behaviour. Whoever said doctors amongst us are immuine to the syndrome of railfan-induced autism disorder? (RFIAD) AEM7AC |
