I want to interject something into this thread. Think about the adults you know, perhaps especially hg/pg males, and think about their "position" on the autistic spectrum. I don't know about many of you but there are a significant number of extremely successful people that I know who would have been labeled as children but are perfectly smart but odd adults. The fear issue around some of this childhood labeling is destructive. (from earlier in this thread)

Not sure how to quote properly! Have just read a Vanity Fair portrait of an obviously brilliant aspie type. All grown up and functioning remarkably well. See what you think.
