Brooke; I got a 29. Probably would have been much higher at an earlier age as I have grown out of some things. Not sure how accurate some of the questions relate to AS though. I would have to agree that a lot of engineer and tech types fall into these categories. If not, we would probably not have and GPS satellites, cellphones and supersonic planes.(where is my hoverboard?) Have you seen the Temple Grandin movie? In 1994, I was with my wife and then 9yo son in Estes Park Colorado. We stopped in the public library and this "cow girl" started chatting with us, realizing we were new to town telling us what we might want to see etc.. I could recognize she had some unusual speech traits although AS wasn't well known if at all at the time. Years later I saw Temple Grandin on a TV show and realized she was probably the same "cow girl"! -- Joe Leikhim Leikhim and Associates Communications Consultants Oviedo, Florida JLeikhim@Leikhim.com 407-982-0446 WWW.LEIKHIM.COM

Asperger is a type of autism, and although some geniouses along the history also seems to have suffered some degree of this syndrome, there are a lot of non-so-brilliant people that also suffers it (but since they are not geniouses, nobody has learn about them). In other hand, there have been also a lot of true geniouses that are a lot far from suffering nothing similar to that (for example, Richard Feynmann). Two nice examples of fictional people with that syndrome are Sheldon of Big Bang Theory (although they deny it) and the detective Monk. Best regards, Javier
