Thanks for posting the article.

When my son was a pre-teen, I had a lot of pressure from untrained teachers/friends/family to have my son "diagnosed" in the aspergers/autistic spectrum. The two psychologists who were working with him for anxiety disorder and social problems both told me that in their opinion he was NOT Aspergers. As had all those "Is your Child Autistic" qizzes you see around. Although one told me he would write me a letter if it would get me needed services at school. Frustrates me because I hate that we as a society are quick to label introverted gifted kids as autistic who need intervention.
