32. I know a good number of aspies

and not one of them is mentally challenged, limited or any other word you want to put on it. Now, as far as the autism spectrum is considered, I do know some people on the spectrum that have various challenges and others who do not. The automatic assumption someone with Aspergers, or autism in general, would be mentally challenged is just a complete falsehood.
