| I read somewhere that Bogolyubov (one of the strongest players in the world in the '20s and '30s, played twice in a world championship match) almost certainly had AS. It of course was undiagnosed at the time. |

| @wavefreak I can see this being a magazine piece. There's another side to the story, which has nothing to do with the Ritvo Clinic, and has to do with Dr. Ritvo coming in to a lot of money. I wish I could be more specific with where this is going. Unfortunately, I have to pitch to different magazine... |

| Lab Pet, I respect copyright issues and won't take anything out of context. To be clear: I have no personal issue or vendetta with Riva Ritvo. She was outed seven years ago for claiming to have a Ph.D in neuroscience, which she was shown not to have. Up until that time she had advertised for a clini... |

| What I would like to kno w: I'm trying to figure out how active Riva Ritvo was at the Ritvo Clinic, if she said she was a psychologist or if, without licensure, she was (as she put it in her advertisement) 'diagnosing individuals with autism spectrum disorders.' She has also worked as a clinical in... |

| What I've found on Riva Ritvo : From the late '80s to 2004, Riva Ritvo claimed to be a specialist in autism and Asperger's and claimed to have a a master's and Ph.D in neuroscience from USC. In 2004, someone outed her phony credentials, when she padded her resume in a wedding vow that ran in The Ne... |

| Ha. Agreed. I'm an NT (I think) and I find that long fiction takes far too long to get into. I think everybody's programmed to want information. A story involves a setup and contrived suspense, and it's rare that the end product is worth the suspense. There's too much to say. Why delay it? |

| I should add: I do have an ulterior motive in joining Wrong Planet, which is to see if anyone knows of Dr. Ritvo, but, browsing around, it seems like a really cool site. |
