The New York Mets have autism awareness day today. And the announcers were babbling on about how people with AS don't stop talking and people with more severe autism don't talk. And I can almost guarantee that some columnist in the NYC papers will, within a few days, claim the Mets' announcers should be diagnosed with AS. Sounds like something Phil Muschnick would do.

Frankly, I think the Fox Sports Baseball Analysts should also be diagnosed with AS. :D

Wow, if the criteria for AS is that you do not stop talking, I know some radio show hosts and politicians who can fall under that.
