Two of my female cousins (twins) have autism, so I've always been curious about autism and Asperger's Syndrome. I browsed through some information about Asperger's Syndrome and autism for fun. Here are some random observations:
1. "Autistic intelligence" has been defined as the ability to see the world from a very unique perspective, often by focusing on details other people overlook.
2. Apparently, many people with Asperger's Syndrome also have high incidences of manic-depression.
3. According to some experts, the best jobs for people with high-functioning Asperger's Syndrome are library science, accounting, engineering, and computer science.
4. Autistic children are 2.5 times more likely to have engineers in their family.
Interesting stuff, but no one seems to know why autism or Asperger's Syndrome affects some kids but not others.
