Is Asperger syndrome appropriately included under the autism spectrum umbrella? Or should it, perhaps, be a separate diagnosis of its own, unconnected to autism?

Laurel Trainor, director of the Institute for Music and the Mind at
McMaster University in West Hamilton, Ontario, and colleagues compared
preschool children who had taken music lessons with those who did not.
Those with some training showed larger brain responses on a number of
sound recognition tests given to the children. Her research indicated
that musical training appears to modify the brain's auditory cortex.

Even a year or two of music training leads
to enhanced levels of memory and attention when measured by the same
type of tests that monitor electrical and magnetic impulses in the
brain.

"And if you really consider how the pictures and words work together in consonance to tell a story, you can make the case that comics are just as complex as any other kind of literature.
