Just want to get people's opinons on this.

Rodman agreed to appear on the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Commenting on Rodman's detachment from the rehabilitation process, Dr. Drew Pinsky, who treated him, commented that Rodman was "hyper-focused in some ways, and in others, completely blank," and observed that Rodman did not comprehend what the other patients were experiencing, or how they perceived him. Pinsky concluded that Rodman may have Asperger's syndrome, a diagnosis with which a colleague from UCLA Medical Center concurred.[63]

Seriously?

You can't diagnose Asperger's (or many other disorders/conditions) when drug use is clouding the issue. And the "Rehab" part of "Celebrity Rehab" implies drug use sufficient to require rehab.

I wonder how many brain cells died from Rodman's dabbling in recreational chemicals.

Asperger's is really becoming the disorder de jour.
