Forgive me, but I think Asperger's is just a disease of the week, if there's no medical treatment for it, we will soon forget all about it.

It sucks that you have to deal with someone who is using aperger's as an excuse for being a total git. I know of a person who follow the Jewish faith like that. I also know a person claiming to be Wiccan doing the same thing (I use the phrase "claming to" as his behaviour is not at all Wiccan).

I also know other Wiccans who are lovely. I had a close friend in High School with Asperger's too. She didn't justify bad behaviour with her condition. Aspergers is a disease, not an excuse to be an asshole. Maybe your collegue has Asperger's, maybe not. I don't think his being an asshole is relate, whatever he says.

Isn't 'personality disorder' just a way for psychologists to call someone an asshole?

Not just a way for psychologists to call someone an asshole, but they can go further and classify them as different types of asshole ;p I wonder if there are any good non-drug management techniques for "personality disorders". "In the old days" didn't such people just learn to get along or become social pariahs?? I wonder if that had a higher success rate than current methods??? :) No idea personally.
