I found this article very interesting and detailed:
http://www.paulcooijmans.com/asperger/s ... erger.html

Please tell me your opinion.

It is certainly very interesting. I think the idea that Asperger's may not be a form of autism but a personality disorder should be seriously looked into by professionals. It makes a lot of sense that way. I also agree that Asperger's is more of a disability than most people realize. Personally I think that the current idea (that exists within the Asperger's community itself in addition to NTs) that just because some people with Asperger's can function in society, hold downs jobs and live independently means that we all can or should, is very unfair.

That's not an article.

If you're the writer, give your thoughts more thought and decide what you believe in.

The "article" says one thing and its opposite all the time, plus never proves its premise, on the contrary proves the premise wrong when expanding on the genetic hereditary factors.

Huh? For me "article" makes perfect sense.

Too bad, you at least asked for feedback. This idiot didn't, and did us a huge disservice by blaming us of sadism, insensitivity to others' feelings and what not, only to reverse it so long later on when the reader is already done with him.

Wiki failed to mention that an "article" that disproves its own premise and says one thing and its opposite all the time is not an article.

I didn't felt he had a discriminatory tone. And i thought Asperger called the condition "autistic psychopathy" (i think this is what he meant by "insensitivity to other's feelings")

Where it states two opposite things? 8O

Sorry, i think i exaggerated with the word "opinion" and it did look like i would ask for some feedback. I'm not the author of it, just found it on Google.
