Everyone chooses a new disease/syndrome that starts with "a" (probably going through the alphabet) to diagnose every single person in the world with some kind of "problem" and to categorize them.
For example, first it was ADD. Now it's autism, and then Aspergers will be next, mark my words.
Of course lots of people have these syndromes, but I am very suspicious of diagnosing every little boy with ADD, etc.
- autism and aspergers are slightly more severe problems than ADD. i see what you're saying but i would say..7point34
- ... it would be ignorant to dismiss autism and the like... these are much more concerning development disorders7point34
- There is a massive difference betweend misdiagnosing a kid with ADD who is hyperactive, and someone with autism. People don't get it. That's why we have all these news items.

- I completely agree. Just making a note, as I keep hearing about these things...Jaline
