The British Prime Minister has said sorry for the way in which the gay aspie Alan Turing was treated in the 1950s.

He was subject to an experimental chemical castation treatment, stripped of his security clearance and sacked becuase he was a sexually active gay man.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
