Thread Name: Ethics of Aspies on juries (Asperger's)
Subject: RE: Ethics of Aspies on juries (Asperger's)
One of the tricky parts of this issue is that there is no 'Aspergers' as such. Each case is different hence in quoting the Wikipedia entry on Aspergers: In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published in May 2013,[26] AS, as a separate diagnosis, was eliminated and folded into autism spectrum disorder there are those who do not clinically define Aperger's anymore.

A good movie about an autistic is "Temple Grandin" starring Claire Danes. Temple Grandin's book: "Thinking in Pictures" is a great insightful read.
