I agree. Rush has never been known for his sensitivity, of course.

Bill Gates and possibly Einstein had Asperger's. It's on the very, very mild end of the autism spectrum. My son, however, is on the other end. He has severe limitations and will probably never speak, and will always live with my wife and me. I wouldn't wish either condition on anyone's child, but Aspies are usually able to function in society.

Bingo. Autism is a spectrum disorder. And Asperger's is part of that spectrum.

Of course, because it isn't visible, it isn't real to some FReepers.
