Dr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you make a determination as to if the folowing is acceptable or not in relation to the guidlines of the forum.
The poaster writes,[...as well meaning as he would be, one suffereing from Asbergers does not process ...].
Two points here. One is if the {he} in the post by SLS could be determined by you to be myself orsomeone else. Next, if you determine that the {he} could be me, could the post be unacceptable here and if the {he} is someone that you determine is other than me, could the post also be determined as unacceptable here and if you can not make a determination as to the {he} in the post is, could the post also be determined as unacceptable here.

Dr. Hsiung,
After reviewing the statement in question it {could} be that the {he} is Dinah. That would make sense if Dinah had the disorder mentioned, but I do not know that. But anyway, it could be interpreted that {anyone} that (...goes out on a limb for someone...), hence the {he} being a person that goes out on a limb for someone, that they, the {he} should not take it personally. The problem, I belive , in the statement in question is that there could be some things not visible in the post that others do not know, particuarly about the person that has the disorder mentioned which I understand is a disorder involving autism, but I am not one that has a great knowledge about it. Some of my former students had this disorder and they were some of my best performers. I did meet with professionals about these students and I remember that there was the part about "social interaction" discussed.
I think that some clarification could be in order so that the{he} was more clear, for I do not think that it is clear who has the DX of the disorder here in the post.
Anyway, please disregard my request for a determination about the statement in question.

I do not think that Dinah has Asbergers.

Dr. Hsiung,
Another aspect of this post involves the spelling of the disorder mentioned. It is spelled {As[b]erger} and the correct spelling is Asperger. This at first could be a mispelling or keyboard error so I am assuming that is what it is and that the poster was referring to the disorder for he mentioned {...does not process social interaction...] which is part of the disorder.
Below is some infomation about this disorder so that there could be some additional understanding about the post in question.

Dr. Hsiung,
I am reinstateing my request for a determination to be made as to the acceptability of the statement in question because the poster has now given more infomation that has me now back to my original querry.
At this time, I do not know several things. I have stated that I do not know who the {he} is in the statement. First, is there someone on the board, now, that the poster is referring to that has the DX of Asperger's Syndrome? If the {he} is me, then the poster would be making a diagnosis, which I consider to not be acceptable on a mental-health forum and I am asking you to make a determination as to that if it is acceptable or not to make a diagnosis of another discussant in the forum , even if the {he} is someone else other than me, which was my original question.

I didn't think that was being done...
