Malcolm Gladwell said that society is structured so that we need to fail. Therefore, the only way that we can be successful is to make a difference or take a risk.

I think that scientists are trying to change this is because "a certain government/scientific faction" (my term) is worried about people with AS taking over the world. Already there have been people who are suspected to have AS, like Bill Gates, Satoshi Tajiri, Tony Attwood, and various others. Extremely successful people, but why does this matter to us?

My response to this thread is simple: why don't we all try to take over the world?


I care that there are successful people on the spectrum, but I wouldn't want to take over ther world :/ also changing the terminology won't get rid of those who have the disorder they just won't have a diagnosis won't get rid of them.
