I am writing to make this list aware of the controversy in the Autistic
community surrounding a recent article in the Times which tends to suggest
that people who have Aspergers syndrome have a tendency toward criminality
and anti social behavior. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,46071,00.html
They have so far not published any responce to this in there letters page,
nor has the NAS as the National organisation supposedly concerned with
Autistic peoples rights responded to this.
The Times does not know it yet, but they have until Thursday before a
complaint is put to the press complaints commision.
