Imagine, if you will, a small town in the middle of some picturesque state, maybe even an island paradise. A town where EVERY person has Aspergers, from the newest of newborns to the oldest geriatric toddling along with their Zimmer frame. A town that has no other people of any other disorder. What would the name of this town be, you may ask. Could it be 'The Big Asperger Syndrome Society'? It could well be, but what if some cartographer (map person) decided to include it on a map. He might not call it by it's full name, so instead he might just l;abe it 'The Big ASS'. Frightening, isn't it.......

I think that this type of projection also makes light of the hard work that the "nominees" have done to become famous in the first place.

I don't quite understand this tendency and my theories do not prove true. I find that I never have encountered another person like me, even when I project  as hard as I can and ignore half the evidence.

I would guess that Hans Asperger's family originally came from this town, though you'll neither find any indications on it on the town's homepage or on Wikipedia nor in Asperger's biography. But it's the only town on the whole planet with that name, as far as I know and it's situated in southern Germany not that very far from Austria and Vienna.

By the way, this is what Hans Asperger wrote to the authorities of the Third Reich about autists in 1944:

"We are convinced, then, that autistic people have their place in the organism of the social community. They fulfil their role well, perhaps better than anyone else could, and we are talking of people who as children had the greatest difficulties and caused untold worries to their care-givers."

He risked his career by writing this, but he did it. He had more courage than most shrinks today, living in "democratic" societies...
