^ The existence of Aspergers is as real as the existence of solipsism.

Moon exists, you can see it, you can send a shuttle to it and touch it.
This analogy makes no sense.

Well, you can see and send shuttles to and touch AS/ASD people too.

Yep, I agree, Asperger's doesn't eggsist, only Eggsperger's eggsists.
OMG, I am so brilliant, I just found new way to use egg.
I will formulate my own syndrome called Eggsperger's Syndrome.
Lemme think over its diagnostic criteria in my dreams tonite.
I predict that Eggsperger's Syndrome will become much more popular than Asperger's Syndrome, because Eggspergers doesn't sound like @$$burgers.
Instead, it invokes wonderful associations with sausage egg mcmuffins, which I can get from mcdonalds right now if I wanted to, yum yum yum, but I prefer the kind with the hardboiled eggs wrapped in cylindrical sausage in burrito.

Doesnt matter how many aspies you can touch, you cant touch aspergers syndrome itself. You can see the moon right there in the night sky even without riding the space shuttle.

Doesnt matter how many aspies you can touch, you cant touch aspergers syndrome itself. You can see the moon right there in the night sky even without riding the space shuttle.
And you can see AS behavior with your own eyes, too. If you called the moon something else - say, Craterville or Jo Shmo The Round Thing - that wouldn't mean "the moon" had never existed because somebody had gotten the terminology all wrong, would it? Nor that it doesn't exist now? Deciding to STOP calling a collection of behaviors and thought processes Asperger Syndrome and calling it something else or else just not calling it anything at all doesn't take away the collection of behaviors and thought processes...correct?
If you're sad and I can't touch your sad, does that mean you're not actually sad and in fact, there's no such thing as sadness? If you love music, and I can't touch your love-music, does that mean you don't love music and in fact there's no such thing as loving music? If you're good at math and I can't touch your good-at-math, does that mean you're not good at math? In fact, I can't touch math, period (and neither can you). Perhaps math simply doesn't exist, it's a misnomer and people just like to make stuff up about there "being" math.

I am arguing the existence of AS as a biological syndrome; which despite all the research done on it, it is still not yet defined nor determined biologically.
Sadness and happiness might not be defined biologically yet, I dunno, I didn't look into it but these are emotions that 100% of humans know that they existed since eons, this isn't the case of AS.
Again, it's an analogy that doesn't make much sense, AS is supposedly to be deeper than a mere mood or emotion. What aspies often define AS, that is a particular brain wiring, different than the majority of humans. But how can we prove it that it not simply a personality type? a set of characters and personality traits? That it is not simply socially constructed that someone simply gave it a label?
AS is like that teapot in the space, you can't prove it, but you cannot disapprove it as well.
