That is interesting, had never heard of that. that may answer some questions about myself. I have always known there was something different, but could not put my finger on it. A tendency to get what my friends call the stares, and a few other things. It is probably something entirely different, but one thing I have seen a connection in, with myself, is I am a very bad compulsive... sorta like Monk on television... and I have, ever since childhood, had an affinity for numbers. Patterns mainly, playing number games in my head and such, and sometimes unable to stop it.. like a tune stuck in your head. The positive benefit of this is I eventually developed a high level of skill in multiplication and division of numbers in my head. I do not see shapes, I mentally see numbers... but they kinda interact like the original article describes the shapes morphing together, rather than as numeric value. I do see numeric relationships, such as when calculating geometric shapes volumes or areas, as moving shapes. I have some symptoms though which have made me wonder about ADD too.. so who the heck knows?

Wierd.

I know there are sites that will give you more clues if need be. Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about this before.

Aspergers is a fairly recent discovery from what I understand...like in the last ten years, and even the general psych profession isn't up on it yet.

Since this is a high functioning group I think the social skills will probably be the only area that they can get their jaws into to make any money. Tee Hee. It may take a little longer to get any real attention directed to it for that reason.
