Michael Jackson Dianosed with ASD ???????

Just an idea, not for real. I'm no doctor and of course it would mean a lot if he had been diagnosed, for those of us that have been.

What a better way to gain attention to the fact that not everybody fits into the "box"? Well, at least not a gold box, as in MJ's case.

What if.... Michael Jackson had gotten diagnosed with ASD? Would it then be more acceptable for others to be diagnosed and not labeled as diseased? Yes, I know it's a neurobiological disorder, but what order are we actually dis-ing?

It was brought to my attention this week that it might just be called a dis-order because we create disorder within societies natural order of things. But what makes them right, and us wrong or let's be politically correct and say, how come it's all our fault they don't fit into our "box"?

So let's take an outside look at MJ's personal behavior and see where it might have fit into the diagnosis of ASD.

1. He had an unrealistic view of himself, feeling a drive to change himself enough to fit what others expected of him, to the extent of surgery.
2. Never satisfied with what he had accomplished, always looking for the next big thing.
3. Very outgoing in public, very introverted when not the star or center of attention.
4. Lived beyond his physical years as far as insight into the humanistic view of the world.
5. Had enough love to those that didn't feel like they fit in.
6. Loved kids, was a kid himself, maybe a perpetual 3 year old in his own right?
7. Trusted the wrong people.
8. Unable to sleep.
9. Often melancholy and yet perceived to be outgoing.
10. Depressed at times because he didn't feel he was living up to his potential.
11. Mis-understood by those that never really knew him.
12. Used drugs to mask pain, either physical or emotional.
