term " Asperger Syndrome " say it means, then by what definition can we

use to determine whether we are aspie or not? "

Well, Zylon, when a number of professionals claim that something is

fact and it is later proven otherwise, their definition is understood

to be inaccurate. So, although non-Aspies created a basic definition

of Asperger Syndrome, their definitions have been proven inaccurate by

persons with AS ... not only those in the general population but also

those who are considered to be colleagues of these non-Aspies.

Not all shades of blue are the same and certain hues and tints are

responsible for that however that does not stop people from pointing

to the sky and espousing that they believe the sky is most assuredly

and absolutely, definitely, without a doubt ... blue.
