An Autie::Aspie comment.

Wednesday being blog-view day, I run across many things. But this one, from Abnormaldiversity
http://abnormaldiversity.blogspot.com/ really struck me, especially as regards ASpies, aka high-functioning autistics.

"...autism doesn't cause social deficits, but rather social differences. Autistics tend to need more alone time and have an odd pattern of interacting..."

It's a little out of context, but VERY accurate. Especially as ASpies tend also to be in the high-IQ group (immediate family of spouse and four children has median of 130+). And boy do I relate, especially the "odd pattern of interacting". Still working on that bit.
