aspergers is what i call a mickey mouse disease.

your basically diagnosed with symptoms of life which we all have.

doctor diagnoses you with aspergers cos you have trouble fitting in??? well millions of people are like that and simply get on with life, or work it through themself.

do you think a starving ethiopian would have such a disease?

did the multitudes of diseases we have now exist even 50 years ago?

i would say lots of young people just want attention and use 'hey im mentally ill' to encourage more self indulgence. when they are no more ill than the rest of us imho.

being diagnosed with something is a self fullfilling prophecy which need not be diagnosed in the first place. could be bad parenting, but dont wanna offend anyone, hope i havent.
