| Previously redirected toward "Asperger's Disorder." It should not. The word "disorder" is not used with Asperger Syndrome. A syndrome is a set of symptoms that are grouped together so frequently that they merit classifications. The symptoms can be advantageous (high IQ, memorization skills) and disadvantageous (poor social understanding, hyper-sensitivity to changes in schedule). "Disorder" is too limiting a word. | |||

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
