From Robert Somerville
As a person with Asperger’s syndrome I resent the fact that Rachel Officer feels the need to speak for me as to how my condition is described (14 June, p 20). While I must profess I’m unsure how I would react to it being called a mental illness, I have no issue with it being called a disorder.
It’s a deviation from the norm with mainly negative effects: why not call it what it is?
