I'm glad this one came up again, I was feeling a bit silly after dragging
this relatively light-hearted thread down by mentioning autism.
If I may quote Caolan'a question for Raph Levien...
>k) would you consider yourself to be suffering from Aspergers Syndrome,
>and if so do you see this as something that you should seek therapy for ?
The LA Times has an interesting article on the subject. The URL is
humungous and at home. It's probably something like www.latimes.com, then
stick autism in the search then click on the first link that pops up.
(Sorry no web access in work.)
Have fun!
