"Our office has now reached a new level of weird"

Fasten your seatbelts, the public defender secretary is blogging:

My boss "the chief public defender", whom I'll call CPD, is mentally ill. One of the attorneys diagnosed (and it's unanimously agreed) that he has Asberger Syndrome. On my one year anniversary at this job, he gave me a Playgirl magazine, a cigar, and a 6 pack of beer. Yes, he is also still employed, even after a complaint was filed...

Dang!

It's Liz from I Speak of Dreams. I would just like to point out that Asperger's Syndrome (AS) as well as the other autism-spectrum disorders, is not categorized as a mental illness, but a developmental delay.

Yes, the CPD behaved inappropriately, but given his age, he probably did not have the benefit of social skills training.
