Worth noting too that the DSM is only one definition of AS, and bears little relation to Wings description (and even less to what Asperger himself described) so when arguing such issues, it would be well to clarify which brand of AS we are using?

Some will say I don't qualify as my "disorders" are subclinical? Yet it's clear I and my kind don't think as NT's do, and that I have the core issues Asperger described, so what am I? If Wing can broaden her definition (and resolutely downmarket, as far as intelligence and morbidities are concerned, so why isn't it called Wing's syndrome?) beyond what Asperger observed, then what's wrong with opening the definition out in the other direction, to include us NeuroAtypical, but generally competent and self reliant types?

We all suffer from discrimination and prejudice, the distaste the movers and shakers have for anyone different, and in some ways this is more true for us "invisible" Aspies. To be different is bad enough in their eyes, but to be different and smarter/more capable is also a threat!
