  • Is there any evidence that this "syndrome" is real, or any studies investigating frequency of occurrance? -- Beland 22:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Is this an accepted theory in peer-reviewed psychology journals, or is this "just" pop psychology? -- Beland 22:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

  • There seem to be some similarities between this syndrome and Pathological Demand Avoidance, in that they are manipulative, and believe that he/she is beyond society's laws and norms. People with PDA appear to undertake malicious acts for no apparent reason. See:

The last website is titled "Malice and Asperger's Syndrome", written by Digby Tantam. However, it states that people with the form of Asperger's that is apparently related to malicious actions is different to the normal type. The National Autism Society (NAS) in the UK holds the view that the Asperger's refered to by Mr. Tantam is not aspergers, but is Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome, which is not aspergers, but does fall on the autistic spectrum.--80.47.203.53 01:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
