[Air-L] do we all have asperger's?

[Christopher J. Richter]

Ah, the characterizations of comm. tech. phenomena that trial attorneys
will stoop to.  Recall a few decades ago, when the defense in Ronald
Zamora's murder trial claimed temporary insanity for their client based
on his "television intoxication" in general and his love of the program
Kojak in particular?  Not an exact parallel to the current case, but
similar enough to be interesting.

While using a computer all day doesnt mean you are
asperters - those who are aspergers tend to gravitate
to worlds they can deal with and handle - such as
computers, intellectual work, online games....  Being
an academic or computer geek doesnt mean you are
aspergers, but I sure know a lot of them who are.
