This whole new wave of Asperger's kind of bothers me. 10 years ago, we were just called "nerds". Now, the medical community has decided that being a nerd is a mental disorder, as if being highly intelligent with poor social skills means you are mentally deformed. At what point did "they" decide being mildly different is a disorder? It's not as if Asperger's makes someone potentially more dangerous, like a sociopath. At what point will "fun" new drugs come to market that will make "suffers" of Asperger's less intelligent and more social, like a fan of "Jersey Shore"? I'm sure there are cases where an "Autism spectrum disorder" diagnosis is appropriate, but I really think that Asperger's is over diagnosed.
