Asberger's Syndrome A kind of "partial" autsim where a person of adequate
intelligence (as measured by a psychological test) has difficulties in
appreciating others' points of view.

They used to call it "opinionated", now they're prescribing pills.

Well, I would tend to distrust a dictionary that misspells the
keyword: it's "Asperger's syndrome".  And I would correct the
tail to say "appreciating that other people *have* a point of view."
