Well said.
Also, just because you're socially incompetent doesn't mean you're allowed to self-diagnose as having Asperger's. I knew one guy who had actual Asperger's, and you're not like him.
- jacknagel 16y agoAgreed--there is way too much of this. A member of my family has Asperger's, is on medication and regularly sees a psychiatrist. It's insulting to him and everyone who has a clinical diagnosis when people throw the term around like that.
- aarontait 16y agoI think it's worth pointing out that, like all autism spectrum disorders, there are varying levels of severity for aspergers syndrome. It's entirely possible for a highly functional adult to have a minor form of aspergers and never be formally diagnosed or treated.
