The notion that "if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again" is hardly a new psychology fad: In fact it's a very old school approach. Also that's different than Asperger Syndrome because repeat behavior and other symptoms aren't exactly the same thing as grit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grit_(personality_trait) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grit_(personality_trait)

It certainly lacks the substance required to either start a movement (grit), or diagnose tens of thousands of youngsters as mentally ill (Asperger's).
