Rain Man was a portrayal of a person with classic autism, not Asperger's. A "Rain Man" would not be presently attending college and supporting himself like my brother does. Actually high intelligence is a hallmark of Asperger's Syndrome.
My brother does have Asperger's (as do several family members), and he will have something else this December: a college degree.
Also known as Programmers Disease.
I wasn't infereing that Raymond Babbett had Asperger's rather than classic autism, nor was I implying that he painted the Sistine Chapel...as I said, it was a joke.
In all seriousness - How do you tell the difference between Asperger's and old fashioned misanthropy?
