I say glibly at parties, "Asperger's is the new ADD." What I mean by it really is that these days, when school systems and some mental health practitioners encounter a kid who's obviously problematic but doesn't fit any clear criteria for other diagnoses, they label that kid as having "autism spectrum disorder." The rationale goes that at least that way the kid can get some specialized help.
