Thnx Nik, interesting stuff, and hmm 'disorder' - I agree,, maybe 'higher functioning spectrum' just leave the word disorder out if it
Missing social cues, yup, thats left me in some weird situations, funny now looking back, fair dinkum, what was I thinking, oh yeah, I remember, was thinking how fast the atoms in the wall were vibrating
Honestly, you'd be surprised, I remeber once in a small group and were picking out animal shapes in the clouds, Can you see the donkey, oh yeah, I see it too; me is like, where I cant, anyway they started to explain and my mind just wondered off, for a bit, and then I hear, soo, bob, what do you think, & I said, well, I reckon that cloud would fill about 5 & a half 20,000 L water-tanks
Oh yeah, Albert Einstien apparently had high-end aspergers, & world famous painting artist Van Gogh I believe ..

Embrace who you are Bob, sometimes our social norms are wrong. some of our greatest minds exhibit these traits.
