The "I don't buy that Asperger's Syndrome thing." line was part of a long quote from his friend, all highlighted in blue for some reason. I think the author does buy it, but I agree that this story is extremely rude and I have no idea why this has been submitted to HN

> His Asperger's Syndrome had made him unable to read the signs to see that I didn't like him - he had somehow convinced himself that I actually was his friend and that I liked him. Good grief.

> I don't buy that Asperger's Syndrome thing.
Well, either he is convinced, or he doesn't buy it.
> I think Calvo is just an asshole. So much for modern psychology and medical science, someone's an asshole - you give it a fancy medical condition and suddenly they have a disease, a psychological condition.

Just be thankful that "people with Asperger's Syndrome" are possibly less prone to kick up a shitstorm on the 'net, because after the second "good grief" you were well on the way to deserve a good one.
