I have to say I don't much like the article, but I'm extremely hesitant to take any article at face value. I'm sure if I had a reporter here on the right day s/he could make DS look an awful lot like that, despite actually being... well... we won't say "normal" (LOL!) but reasonably well adjusted.
This is why I'm generally very wary of the media -- I've never (ever!) been quoted correctly in anything I've ever contributed to, right down to a very carefully written out, bland and detail-less statement about volunteering for a local animal rescue. They made it sound like I thought I was some bigwig running the place instead of a lowly data entry chicky. And they misspelled my name.
But especially when children are quoted, and the reporter knows what point s/he wants to make but the child isn't quite as savvy in his answers, you can end up with interesting results... technically quotes, but purposely drawn out to fit a particular argument.
