Murder of Asperger's Last Poet: The Poetry Legacy

With the protection of an honorable designation of 'high functioning' Asperger's Syndrome, the poet with some dignity and great effort, did manage to write a treasure trove of inspired poetry, but on the verge of achieving great fame and best seller status, the poet had the "e;high functioning"e;-status rug pulled right out from under him. With the slander epithet of "e;Autism on the wrong side of the spectrum rainbow"e;, nascent sales and dreams collapsed. The Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual doomed Asperger's Poetry: "e;Asperger's Syndrome"e; does not exist anymore; it is moribund. Although there is no gold at the end of the rainbow, there is still this legacy for study.
