There's an article in the UK Guardian newspaper on Aspergers (link below, if it works!). Annoying thing was that the first comment posted on it slagged off AS as a "made up disease" :x . I don't know exactly what it said as it was quickly modded out - wish they'd left it in so I could have had a go at it :twisted:

Trolls will be trolls. I for one thought it to be an enlightening article. At least someone has a positive opinion of Aspergers that the mass media is willing to publish. Props to the author.

Nice to see that the media is actually displaying an accurate portrayal of AS as opposed to the ignorant stereotypes we usually get.
