Agreed--there is way too much of this. A member of my family has Asperger's, is on medication and regularly sees a psychiatrist. It's insulting to him and everyone who has a clinical diagnosis when people throw the term around like that.

I think it's worth pointing out that, like all autism spectrum disorders, there are varying levels of severity for aspergers syndrome. It's entirely possible for a highly functional adult to have a minor form of aspergers and never be formally diagnosed or treated.
