Is your DC someone not on the spectrum telling you how to talk about your own syndrome? Just say "aspie" here, it's in the name of this site!!!
My damage Control is actual a team of four NTs, their job is to keep my public image from becoming too controversial or tarnished, to make sure I don't publicly say or do anything that would cause negative feedback or comments aimed at me personally and, to be sure that if something is said that might indicate a scandal, controversial, unpopular views, an injured fan, etc... basically if anything goes awry at all, it's their job to fix it, cover it up, bury it, counter it, do whatever it takes to make and keep me looking goo and, true to the image the rest of the handlers and I agree upon for my public image.
Yes they are all NTs, I need them there and, in PR if I am too be acceptable and, look good, but edgy and rebellious to the world, of which the majority are NTs. I need to know how NTs think and react tward anything I say or do publicly and, Damage control makes sure it comes out as intended and, doesn't cause problems, or fixes problems if I screw up.
They are valuable people on my team, anyone in the public eye needs them. Yes, every Aspie in the public eye has them and, that's why we all seem less Aspie like than we truly are - NTs make us look good, look "normal" and, the people that do that for us are very good at what they do.
The common slang for them is "Spin Doctors" Experts at twisting and interpreting anything anyone says or does in either a negative or positive light and, they make it positive for whomever is paying their paycheck. Ever public figure needs them, we'd all look a lot worse and have a lot more public problems without them.
