The History Of Asperger’s Syndrome
Asperger ‘s Syndrome (AS), an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is

a relatively new diagnosis in the field of autism. It was named in honor of Hans Asperger (1906–80), an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician. An English psychiatrist, Lorna Wing, popularized the term "Asperger's syndrome" in a 1981 publication; the first book in English on Asperger Syndrome was written by Uta Frith in 1991 and the condition was subsequently recognized in formal diagnostic manuals later in the 1990s.

Things Asperger’s Syndrome / Autism Is Not
Autism is not mental retardation.

Some autistic people may be very intelligent. There is a lot evidence that Albert Einstein may have been autistic.
Autism is not “savant” syndrome. Some autistic people are “savants”, (instant calculator, etc.) but most are not. Other autistic people are “gifted”, however, and have high “general” intelligence. Many autistic people have normal intelligence, and some may be retarded.
Autism is not an emotional problem. Autism is a neurological condition which people are usually born with. Psychological trauma doesn’t cause it.
Autism is not a psychosis or lack of reality contact.
People do not choose to be autistic.
Autism is not “a fate worse than death.” Autistic people have some disadvantages, but some live very happy and rewarding lives. Many autistic people wouldn’t want to be “cured”, as this would be like erasing them and replacing them with different people.

Asperger’s Syndrome In The News
During the school shooting committed by Adam

Lanza, some people left some bad comments about Asperger’s Syndrome on Geek Alabama.

Exact same behavior displayed by serial killers, psychopaths, mass murderers, and children who shoot up schools. Asperger’s Syndrome is evil, pure evil, and from the devil!
Try curing the real disease, autism, and not the NRA.
It’s autism and America needs to have a serious discussion about how to treat this disorder so we don’t have these mass shootings.
There is this really, really weird teenager in my church. He has Asperger’s. Yesterday I reported his odd behavior to the police. It’s worth reporting this kid to the authorities now that I know how dangerous this disorder can be.
Yeah, well my cousin works with autistic kids and adults and she said they’re violent people and copy everything they see on TV. These monsters needs to be locked up, ALL OF THEM, before this happens again.
I won’t let my kids hang out with one of their friends, because this kid has Asperger’s Syndrome, I’m concerned.
Enough of this politically correct nonsense with mainstreaming autistic kids. The inevitable bullying of these autistic youths is a recipe for breeding more Adam Lanza’s. Institute aggressive mental health screenings, bring back psychiatric facilities that would have kept Adam Lazna locked up, and fund research to detect genetic defects.
