Friend problem

Okay, so I have a friend who have Asperger's syndrome who has just been trolled par a lot of people. A bunch of people made an article about him on ED (Encyclopedia Dramatica). He still seems very angry and doesn't want to get over it (its been over a mois since the article). I've been trying to help him, but the conversation (as in notes on the internet) keeps going back to ED. I've tried to keep the conversation on video games (his interest), reassuring him that the ED article won't really ruin his reputation, and lots of other stuff. I really don't want him to be so angry =( Any advice?
[I'm not leaving him. We've been Friends for maybe over a year.]
If toi don't know what Asperger's syndrome is, toi might want to Google it ^^; And don't ask about the article; don't want any plus trolls for him.

Hi!

First of all, I think it's really great you're trying to help him with this! toi are a good friend!

I know what Aperger's is (I know people who have it too), so I know it can be difficult. It's good that toi try to talk to him about stuff toi know he's interested in, but if he keeps pointing the conversation towards the ED article, maybe that means he really wants to talk to toi about this. Maybe talking about it intensely will help him get this out of his system. If he lets the anger out, maybe it will be gone afterwards. Let him direct the conversation. If he starts talking about it, go with it, don't break it off ou change the subject. Let him say what he needs to say (even if it's the same thing over and over), and tell him what he needs to hear.

With a friend like you, he doesn't have to worry about his reputation!

I hope this helped!

Love,

Eline

Ah...thats great ^^ Though, we do talk about the article a lot. I'm just not sure if he does feel better about it (he seems to get angrier). Yeah, maybe I'll try talk to him a bit plus about it.

You're gonna have to wait this one out a little bit. People are gonna react however they want to, there's not much toi can do about that. Just make sure to always stick par your friend, it would seem like he really needs a good friend. Maybe give him a new video game, he could get addicted to it and forget about the article for a little bit.

Thanks for the conseil ^^ He always say he can't do anything about it. I asked if he wanted to play a game ou do something else. Guess I should just go with the flow.

toi can go with the flow, as long as you're suivant to the friend. Does he actually want to talk about the whole ordeal?

I'm sure we'll have no trouble with that ^^ He has a handful of friends. We'll all try to help him out. He did it four years ago. Maybe he'll get over this later on.

toi should probably tell off the people that made that article,and maybe ask if toi can add one of those short story,if toi do, write about how no one cares about the bad things and that alot of people out there care about the important things about " everyone in this situation" and that how no matter what toi still care.

But they're ED people D: They made the article as a joke (reason for the site). The article isn't camelote, indésirable to these people, so it'll stay on there. I just have to make sure my friend doesn't give any material for these ED people (whoever they are; they're all screen names). Though, I had done the other thing, I think.
