Revision as of 23:32, 4 December 2003
I'm deleting a large chunk of text - however, since I wrote the text originally, no one should be concerned. :) I asked a friend knowelegeable about such matters to contribute some text, which I consider far superior to my initial entry and am thus putting in wholesale. -- April
Quick question about the following sentence from near the end of the article: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual's diagnostic criteria have been roundly criticized for being far too vague and subjective. Is it the DSM's Asperger's diagnostic criteria that have been criticized, or *all* of the DSM's diagnostic criteria for all the disorders it tries to cover? I don't know, but I think the sentence or paragraph could be reworded a little to remove that confusion; as it is, I could read it either way. Wesley 17:07 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)
- Both. Some people think that all or the vast majority of the DSM-IV is nonsense. A slightly larger number of people think that the specific entry for asperger's is nonsense. The former is arguably off-topic, though. -Martin
- What is Acapedia -> see talk:Acapedia
- Besides that question, this article needs a lot of work -- too many long chunks of text. -- Zoe
I just restored the page after an anonymous user blanked it, and probably missed some small piece of formatting somewhere. Please fix anything you spot. -- Jim Redmond 15:49, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I think it would be neat to list some of the historical figures that are suspected of having Asbergers, such as Newton Einstein and Bill Gates...
- I don't, because that would be idle speculation and a bit too gossip-like. -- Olathe November 22, 2003
- The list is interesting but some justification might be in order. Phil 15:21, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
- "Due to their success via unconventional means, fitting into the symptoms of Asperger's?" Before I put that up, does that all work for you as justification?Leumi
