Do you have Asperger's Syndrome?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

I'm an atheist (or should that be heretic?) on Asperger. I supposedly have it but I doubt it even exists (I certainly know people that supposedly have it and have something else. But talking about that more would send me into autorant. And you don't want to send me into autorant).

I am tempted to agree with what Snowguy and, to a lesser extent, Gully Foyle posted. Selfdiagnosed Asperger must be among the worst things the internet has too much of. And I'm quietly convinced mental disorders are severely overdiagnosed even in clinical environments, anyway.

I would never say (and I know this from experience) that there aren't people who really have serious emotional and interpersonal problems (and sometimes other problems) who have been diagnosed with "aspergers". Simultaneously, it is obvious that there are many people who been diagnosed with "aspergers" whose only problem is that they are a bit individualistic or are not very sociable or whatever human-problem-of-the-month there happens to be at the end.

That's the problem - it is a "condition" without any real content.

I have to say that Oldiesfreak sig' is one of the dumbest I've ever seen, I've been here for years now.
