I wish he did touch on - the large percentage of mis-diagnoses and it being thrown around with children at such young ages (statistically less powerful) without at least a full multidisciplinary assessment. Nevertheless, I appreciate the normalization and awareness of the life potential he inferred too.

Many 'Aspies' go on to live successful lives (hold jobs, are happy, marry, etc.), but many don't. I have a brother in his 40's who has such low self esteem, and so many quirks, that he simply cannot obtain gainful employment or have a relationship with another. We've tried everything. It's so stressful and heartbreaking to see his painful life unfolding with such distress and unhappiness. Then again, i've met many Aspies who hold good jobs and do well socially. Go figure.
This guy, like so many others, makes Asperger's sound like a problem. There are other factorsto consider: such as normal sub-cultures in schools, where kid's deliberately make it hard for AS people to socialise. Certain social behaviour that's mainstream is deemed acceptable, and AS communication deviates from it and so isn't acceptable. We know how to talk - it's only in a different way. We need to take a good look at ourselves before we judge Asperger's people.

@sophiegromit It's very very stressful to deal with parents who try to change who you are and try to make you act in ways and do things which are outside the realm of your nature.
Anytime my parents had an issue with me, it was because they were harassing me. I was content to be left alone. I never asked anything of anyone other than that, yet me of I had a million things. If you have ever had a boss who tried to micromanage your job, imagine someone micromanaging your life.
