What the living hell is this?

This post on an Asperger comm boggles me. I actually stopped chewing dinner to just sit and peer at the screen. At first I thought I was misunderstanding things. The first line is:

I have just learned that my toddler nephew is on the spectrum! I can't tell you how excited this makes me.

That read like she was happy the nephew had it. That had to be wrong, that couldn't be right. So I kept reading:

Oh, and they have another baby on the way. Yes, my fingers are crossed for another Aspie!

I'm sorry, but what? Am I so behind the times that I'm in a totally different age? This is a disease, yes? Not some kind of lifestyle choice or... or... arg. Someone help my brain! None of the comments on that post are calling the person out on saying that!

Oh my friendsfriends list, what interesting things you always give me to read.

Anyway. In WoW, I tried PvPing for the first time in forever. Years, it's been (or at least feels like). But hey, paladin, high end of the bracket, it'd have to go well, right? Well, yes! I was level 38, and only person to give me any challenge at all (or successfully kill me) was a 38 rogue. Alas I'm not all that good at PvP, but the paladin skillset (and plate mail!) was enough to keep me upright most of the time. He killed me only once. Still, it was actually really enjoyable, even if the XP didn't make it worth doing.

Other stuff happened today, but that Asperger post drove everything else out of my head, grr.
