Could Dukey and Susan from Johnny Test have Aspergers?

I don’t think you can qualify a fictional character as having a “psychological disorder” if just for the fact that the universe in which they exist is much too different from our own (where the Asperger’s comparison is coming from). I mean, I suppose if you really wanted to look at it that way you could make “some” connections BUT they would be false because the context in which they are presented varies (dramatically) from the context in which Asperger’s cases are evaluated. In short, the connection is there only if you are presuming that it’s there. I really do think that it is an interesting query but I just don’t think the disorder at hand is relevant to the aforementioned characters.
