Not quite what I was getting at. There are lots of clusters of behaviours and personality traits out there. The ones that get named receive designations only because of the politics of the society in which the people live. But as we all know, labels don't necessarily make things real. Why should Aspergers' have a label, and not other clusters?Anyway, lets up the precision of language slightly: Aspergers' is not a proper syndrome (like AIDS), it is a collection of behaviours that have been identified as a syndrome by psychologists with particular prejudices. |
