It doesn&#x27;t mean that people who were formerly diagnosed with Asperger are now considered normal.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.autism-society.org&#x2F;what-is&#x2F;aspergers-syndrome&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.autism-society.org&#x2F;what-is&#x2F;aspergers-syndrome&#x2F;</a>
