OMG!  It wasn't obvious from the article what field of academia she's in, so I thought what's her qualifications to 'diagnose' her former colleagues as Aspie, and maybe her ignorance could be excused?

But her website says she's a psychotherapist!

Dammit, if a person who should have a good understanding of the condition is so prejudiced and judgemental and potentially discriminatory, can she really be any good at what she does generally?  And on that basis, who the hell is she to judge her former colleagues?
While talking with the social worker in charge of managing  relations with the hospital in which my aged Dad is going through his final illness, she mentioned that she did her Master's thesis about Professor Nash, and got to talk to him and appreciate him. I pointed out to her that I am somewhat weird, too, just not in the same way. I think she understood.
its really sad, that an obvious intelligent person can be so full of prejudices. if i would have been like her, i wouldn't have a family now...
