Managing a community can be interesting

Over the last twelve months or so, my moderating team and I have noticed a trend towards people claiming the latest fashionable ailment - Aspberger's Syndrome. Anyone else getting this?

I'm getting more members as a ratio than exist in society, though it could be because genuine 'aspies' are able to fit in better on an online forum.

My team and I aren't worried by someone genuinely having this particular afflication, but truth to tell we can't tell a blind bit of difference between them and other posters (possibly due to the electronic nature of the environment), and we wonder if there is a huge overdiagnosis, or if people are just claiming this as a way to be special. We've even had people announce it as part of their "Hi, I'm new" posts.

Is it just us?
