Abstract
This paper presents the results of a content, frame and discourse analysis of Internet sites concerned with Asperger’s syndrome (AS). It investigated blogs written by people who have been diagnosed with AS, as well as organizations devoted to the support of people with AS and their families. The findings document the different and even oppositional perspectives of the organizations and the individual bloggers. The organizations’ website descriptions of AS were based on the premise that AS is a medical disorder and a deficit. The individual bloggers, in contrast, called themselves Aspies and indicated that they were happy with themselves but angry and disappointed with those who tried to change them. Theoretical, methodological, substantive and practical implications of these findings are discussed. The concept of ‘surplus suffering’ is suggested as useful.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
