    hi - I haven't checked up on this organisation but if they can't spell aspergers properly then it doesn't generate optimism, does it??

    Exactly.

    Also, @Yousif: If you look at my community profile you will see that I have been diagnosed with Asperger's. Might I suggest that when moderating the forums you consider the fact that many of the people here are on the Spectrum and so may display many of the traits of being so. For me that includes being blunt, and to the point, and not saying things I feel to be unneccessary. Such as, in this case, when I read a thread in which there appears to be no 'discussion', or in which I have nothing to add to the discussion, but where I see a mistake or fallacy that I feel it important to address, not adding to said discussion but instead correcting said mistake or fallacy. I was merely pointing out the OP's mispelling of Asperger's and perhaps I was a little too blunt, but I do not believe I was either rude or offensive in my bluntness.
