AUTISM: I HAZ IT NAO http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/dec/02/aspergers-syndrome-dropped-psychiatric-dsm … FEAR MY NEW POWERS!!! #levelingup
@Meaningness I always found Asperger's problematic, specifically the lack of sense of humor supposedly associated with it.

@St_Rev Yeah, it was a heterogeneous syndrome. Taxonomy always faces lump vs split issues, and I can see why they went the lump route.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@St_Rev On the other hand, ASD may now be so broad that’s not a useful taxon. Luckily, such things are not my problem. -
@Meaningness I like to refer to my condition as 'the dopamine trifecta'. -
@St_Rev What three? -
@Meaningness Ironically ADHD meds aggravate TS and vice-versa, despite their comorbidity, but I can't take any of them anyway. -
@St_Rev Well, that sucks. -
@Meaningness I'll say one thing about TS, though. It is really good for puncturing the illusion of the unitary self. -
@St_Rev Yes, I can imagine that. Many conditions likewise. That suggests it takes many systems working right to maintain self-illusion.
