Hi
Have just read another article about Asperger's in the national press,
there is a lot about at present! This was in yesterday's Guardian. It seems
a bit different from the one in The Times, but still mentions crime.
'Viewed from the majority perspective, poeple who fail to make eye contact
are shifty or sinister. Asperger's adults are constantly tailed by
shop-security guards, even though their inflexible mental processes make
it unthinkable that they would break the law'.
While this is far preferable to The Times, I wonder it is another
generalisation which cannot really be backed up. I'm not sure. What do
others think?
