I am not posting this to annoy or offend, only because I am interested. Recently, I read about Chelsea Manning's background for the first time, and though this might be old news to some of you, CM has a dual diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Asperger's Syndrome along with Gender Dysphoria or Identity Disorder. FAS has an extremely negative reputation of causing both profound behavioral issues and mental retardation but CM has an above average IQ and has been exceptional in school, building websites and winning awards at a young age, so obviously she is not mentally ret*d. So, what do you all think of the overlap in traits?
