thankyou! yes its great to hear positive stuff like that. its a very broad spectrum..........aspergers can manifest in lots of ways..........somedays you would never tell my son from the crowd, but others.........well hes out there! they do tend to get focused on one thing at a time, like your friend with the history books. its been said that einsteen may have had aspergers. my son's dad ( who im sure, and the doc agrees with me ) has aspergers is very much like that. the upside is they get very good at that particular thing. his dad is a brilliant muso. ( im hopeing my son will be also! ). yeah, my son cant handle people touching him either, hes lost friends because of simple stuff like that. but as i always say to myself, theres always someone worse of than yourself. aspergers is much milder than full blown autism, and im thankful for that.
cheers!
