Hey, [personal profile] griffen Have you seen this?

I have not been posting much for the past week -- and won't be for the next two or three -- but I wanted to make sure I posted this. It's about autism -- specifically Asperger's syndrome, and a couple of historical figures who may have had the condition.

I found this site last night. It includes issues I have never seen addressed before:

That's the beginning of a long conference transcript about being married to someone with Asperger's. Fascinating and useful information.

Gee, that sounds like me. Except I don't have any exceptional talents, skills or genius.

Can't win em all I guess.

Yes, I did, and to be honest I'm not really surprised. I think that Nikola Tesla was, also. It would fit with what I know of him.

I'm beginning to think that most geniuses are autistic. ;)
