Notes from the edge

Asperger's - positive aspects

Monday Jun 18, 2007

A couple of comments that I received to my last post to this subject made me feel that I need to add some interesting and positive thoughts about ASC.

  • This entry on wikipedia - People speculated to have been autistic is a good collection. OK - it's Wikipedia, and as they say themselves "This section does not cite its references or sources."  (actually, it does), but it's a thought provoking (in a fun way)  read.
  • This led me to what looks like a great "Aspie" web site / forum at Wrong Planet- managed by an "aspie" with his own feisty views. 
  • Did you know that Simon Baron-Cohen (researcher)  is first cousin to Sacha Baron-Cohen (comedian of Ali G & Borat fame)? Sounds like an internet myth - but I think the name kind of validates it. It also makes me wonder.....

My little contribution: parody web site of the "Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical": http://isnt.autistics.org/

It drives home in a hilarious way how "normal" behaviour can actually be seen in relative terms...
