While it’s hard to argue with the hope that Asperger’s can serve to reduce the stigma around autism, I fear this is a naïve claim to make.]]></description>

Good thing HBO’s recent biopic, Temple Grandin, is no such thing.

That isn’t stopping medical experts from considering a change to a national mental illness classification guide to roll Asperger’s under autism &#8212; a move that has many people connected to Asperger&#8217;s in an uproar.
