school stabbing near Boston
SUDBURY, Massachusetts (AP) -- A person was fatally stabbed Friday morning at a high school outside Boston, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The victim was brought to Emerson Hospital in Concord from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury and pronounced dead at 8:12 a.m., said
Bonnie Goldsmith, a hospital spokeswoman.
Goldsmith would not say whether the victim was a student or a teacher.
State and local police were sent to the school.
Fred Smerlas, who has a daughter at the school, told WHDH-TV that parents were told that there was an incident prior to school starting involving two
students.
"There's probably about 100 parents congregating outside the school trying to get more information," he said.
Smerlas said parents were told that students were taken to the school gymnasium after the stabbing.
The school has about 1,600 students and is 17 miles west of Boston.

This is interesting.....................
Asperger Syndrome or (Asperger's Disorder) is a neurobiological disorder named for a Viennese physician, Hans Asperger, who in 1944 published a paper
which described a pattern of behaviors in several young boys who had normal intelligence and language development, but who also exhibited
autistic-like behaviors and marked deficiencies in social and communication skills. In spite of the publication of his paper in the 1940's, it wasn't
until 1994 that Asperger Syndrome was added to the DSM IV and only in the past few years has AS been recognized by professionals and parents.
Individuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies
in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a
particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has
difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing,
certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see. It's important to remember that the person with AS perceives the
world very differently. Therefore, many behaviors that seem odd or unusual are due to those neurological differences and not the result of intentional
rudeness or bad behavior, and most certainly not the result of "improper parenting".
By definition, those with AS have a normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in a specific area. Because
of their high degree of functionality and their naivet?, those with AS are often viewed as eccentric or odd and can easily become victims of teasing
and bullying. While language development seems, on the surface, normal, individuals with AS often have deficits in pragmatics and prosody.
Vocabularies may be extraordinarily rich and some children sound like "little professors." However, persons with AS can be extremely literal and have
difficulty using language in a social context.
At this time there is a great deal of debate as to exactly where AS fits. It is presently described as an autism spectrum disorder and Uta Frith, in
her book AUTISM AND ASPERGER'S SYNDROME, described AS individuals as "having a dash of Autism". Some professionals feel that AS is the same as High
Functioning Autism, while others feel that it is better described as a Nonverbal Learning Disability. AS shares many of the characteristics of PDD-NOS
(Pervasive Developmental Disorder; Not otherwise specified), HFA, and NLD and because it was virtually unknown until a few years ago, many individuals
either received an incorrect diagnosis or remained undiagnosed. For example, it is not at all uncommon for a child who was initially diagnosed with
ADD or ADHD be re-diagnosed with AS. In addition, some individuals who were originally diagnosed with HFA or PDD-NOS are now being given the AS
diagnosis and many individuals have a dual diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism.
For your information, I've included below a copy of the DSM IV Description. In addition, I've also added a more down-to-earth description that was
originally posted to the autism listserv.
