The conversation highlights a spectrum of opinions on what constitutes dishonesty and the responsibilities of both students and educators.

But there's no objective definition of Asperger's. Indeed there's no concrete support for autism having a spectrum at all. That's something of an unverified assumption. I'm not saying it's wrong but making social modifications before scientific verification is kind of putting the cart before the horse.

ADHD is one of those things that was formerly thought of as a personality trait, but has only recently come to be regarded as a legitimate neural disorder with objective differences in how the brain responds to stimuli and motion. A recent study that I read on CNN's website mentioned a study that found that those with ADHD do, in fact, have objective differences in their brains.

Anyway, I looked but I can't find the exact article I read--perhaps I didn't read it on CNN after all?--but here's a similar one: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/14/adhd-brains-may-have-faulty-brakes/"

Of course they do. Every psychological difference between people comes down to a difference in the brain at some level - even differences in personality.
