Sounds just like my daughter. She is mildly autistic. She manages, though.

Actually, I didn't write that. That is taken from anothers post, who got it from a web site describing the symptoms. I added "Sounds like computer geeks."

To be honest, it is an absolute perfect description of my brother in law. He is even worse though. He doesn't have any disease. He is a lazy bastard who is 33, lives with mom, hasnt had a job in ten years, and thinks he is a freaking genius whose mental powers are to be held in awe.

No BIL, your a dumbass loser!

Sounds like my daughter too, but she has brain damage. She manages, but we'll see what the future holds.
