Jai -Thanks for your thoughts on the subject. I totally agree with wrongly identifying individuals as their diagnosis. The title was simply meant to reflect an individual’s perspective that might not know much about the subject. The rest of the article refers to the individual as having Asperger’s or AD. I’m glad you brought the issue up though because the very last sentence of the post redefines who they truly are, children of God. Thanks for caring for those that are often overlooked.

What were your thoughts on the rest of the content?

Whenever we refer to people as if they ARE their disability it diminishes them. I know it’s longer, but I think it’s better to say those with Asperger’s, etc.
