But then again, I would pay to see a dog dancing with a baton. (Mark probably would like it too!)
Sidenote: If you can't stand to be around others suffering from mental illnesses or those who want to spend the last of their days doing what makes them happy, then you probably should not be living in a 55+ community. Just saying..

There's a reason that there aren't many Network Newscasters, with Asperger's Syndrome.
There's a reason Marlee Matlin hasn't had as successful career as Meryl Streep and it's not for lacking of acting talent.
We're all reasonably entitled to be what we want or what we are, until it interferes with someone else's right to pursue happiness. The fact that he may or may not have a medical condition may be a reason for his behavior, but it's not an excuse. Effected individuals or society in general, has no obligation to alter their behavior or compromise their preferences, to accommodate the aberrant behavior of others.
It's sort of like getting accidentally getting hit with a baseball bat. It may be an accident, but it hurts just the same. If the person wielding the baseball bat can't control themselves, the bat has to be taken away from him/her.
