Hi Zinco, yes I immediately went and read up on it, and I think I'm pretty high functioning. I guess he makes a good point, I mean it explains everything so well. But, of course, being a scientist, I know things aren't always what they seem - sometimes the "data" makes you see something that isn't really there. But, it especially explains some of the weird hobbies I had as a kid, and especially the repetitive, obsessive nature of some of these.

The denial thing is so true for me too - if I told my parents, they would never accept it, this is one of those things "that happen to other people, not our family". They were in denial for a long time about my grandmother's Altzheimer's for example.
