When are we ever going to see an Asperger's Commercial on Television?

They have ADD and ADHD!

Is the world benign to AS and ASD?

I've never seen a commercial for ADD or ADHD. I saw a commercial for a medication for "Adult ADD" once, but that's it.

And "Autism Speaks" does run autism awareness commercials.

Are they directed toward Aspergers though?

No, they're for all forms of autism.

Nah, and, really, I think I'd rather pose as an intellectual elitist.

If an advert of it was done though wouldn't you expect it to have the typical stereotypes which all shows have in them of asperger syndrome being a like rainman disabiltiy when around 0.05% of us have savantism
