Do explain how Asperger's people are retarded. When most of them are intelligent and some even way above average intelligence and lead normal lives? Retarded implies slow which is the opposite of someone with Asperger's. I bet you have met people with aspersers and not even been aware of it cause they appear just like everyone else. I have Asperger's and no one who knows me would class me as retarded. This seems to be everyone's favourite word on this site. You should really research Asperger's before you say such things. You obviously know nothing about Asperger's.

True, speech and occupational therapy along with social role playing and rehersals can make an Aspergian seem perfectly normal, though hypersensitivity and poor eye contact can still be noticed.
