Asperger's Syndrome
A very real neurological disorder, related to autism, that has been overdiagnosed to the point where genuine cases of it are no longer taken seriously.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 1993, back when hardly anyone had heard of it. Nobody has any right to say that something with which I have dealt all my life is not real.

stingray
An oceanic fish, related to sharks, that has been wrongly maligned since the untimely death of Steve Irwin.
1) It was ONE stingray that killed Steve, so don't go blaming the whole family; 2) it didn't maliciously kill him, it just reacted instinctively to a perceived threat; and 3) if you know the first thing about Steve Irwin, it should be perfectly clear that he would NEVER want us to bear ill will against any animal.
