What about relatives who feel qualified to diagnose Asperger's after having read only one magazine article about it in a Time magazine. No books, just one article, and the relative knew more than doctors. She thinks the doctors must be wrong because it is not right that a then 9 year old knew enough about the subject she was talking about at a family dinner that he was able to point out an error in something she said, and he was right. She has a college degree, he doesn't, so in order for him to be able to talk the way he does and know the things he knows, in her opinion, it must be Asperger's.
