That lead singer off of that garage rock band The Vines does have asperger's, he's said it himself and was diagnosed.

I don't believe in intelligence quotients as a measure of ingenuity, so even if he did pretty average, I still believe what makes him special can't be measured, and still genius.

It's that kind of statement that stifles any debate about anything in the World, ever.

Go you.

Some people like to play mind games that aren't so fruitless.

You've just got to look upon behavioral scientists a little more realistically:

Why did they become psychologists and psychiatrists to begin with?

This requires a serious diagnosis:

They felt they were whacky at some point early in life and the very best therapy for them wasn't seeing a shrink, it was becoming one! "Hmmm! Maybe if I hit the books and go to school for this I can un-fuck my own fucked-up head!" What a flock of loons graduate colleges and universities with such prestige and social stature every year!

And they write textbooks with more and more *disorders* and *syndromes* in them until they're stacked right up to the stratosphere. It sure keeps the business running, doesn't it? But if you doubt them you are diagnosed as paranoid for misperceiving helpful benevolence as a danger and a threat.

Oh, "Asperger's Syndrome"! It's been a flavor of the day for many, many days now. And I did hear the same said about Roger Waters just over two years ago.

OK, let's all register our Imaginary Mental Diseases right here!*

*I'll be registering mine a little later. I just need a little extra time to sort through them all and get them in the right order.

Gotcha Batty. I so totally agree. Endless categorization does not help people. It just puts a big barrier between those who have difficulties and help. And blows up the egos of the "professionals" who often are just not available for those who don't have the "scratch" or worse dreadfully wrong about their patients condition. Many are the victims.

Divide and Conquer! Keep us fighting among ourselves so we avoid the real problems.... yeah, unfortunately, that seems to be the way of things.

As for psychiatrists being mentally ill themselves, well, my late uncle was a psychiatrist and a severe manic depressive. Pretty much ended his life prematurely a couple of years back... But as for my own shrinkydink, I dunno.... he looks just like Brett Favre, so he must be right as rain, eh?

I'll be serious now...........

As a "loon" studying behavioural sciences in third level education, I'm highly offended!

But I will tell you one thing for nothing though, just because it is a soft science doesn't mean they need to omit the science bit completely, I had exams in schizophrenia and O.C.Disorder with no backround into chemical medication, neuro-biological causes or brain chemistry. My study IS more holistic but I believe education in both is essential.

As for social standing, perhaps the U.S.A. heaps more prestige on their graduates moreso than here in Europe.........

The topic of loons, well, they'll have more understanding than "normal" untroubled persons of certain conditions if they have had experience themselves, just as long as it only affects their attitude or perspective where they tend to be more compassionate/ better bedside manner, it actually can be a good thing.......

This has been a million dollar question in my family. I have Asperger's and a good amount of my family does as well. When I got more into Zappa's personal life, I noticed a few traits of his personality that are quite A.S. But don't get me wrong, he probably had a touch of it; no more than a thimble size of it so he got the good parts of it. Either way, Frank was a genius beyond his time and it might be a safe bet that he was on the spectrum.

I didn't know Canadian Birds went to College.

My apologies to (almost) anyone I've offended, but because it's not that perfect world no one possesses anything remotely like a guaranteed right never to be offended.

So you've had exams in schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder having no familiarity with neurology or psychopharm@cology? That's become common but it's still bizarre. Well, it's an industry and the keyword there is efficiency. Not efficacy, but efficiency from a bottom-line, business perspective.

(There is a very dark humor visiting people in the locked unit of a psychiatric hospital and only being able to distinguish those on the "staff" from those designated as "clients" by the badge that says staff on it along with an I.D. code. A very dark humor.)

I'm sure I've read in one of the many biographies of Frank that I own
that he actually WAS a genius according to I.Q. tests.
Even his father was quoted as saying Frank was a genius!

Also, in the late 70's when Genie Becker was an interviewer for
"The New Music" (a Canadian music news program at the time)
she was interviewing Frank while he was in a limo and he said to her
after she made some difficult comment to him:
"I am a genius but don't hold it against me!"
