I did recently see "down to the bone" with Vera Farmiga very unpleasant addiction movie but she did a great job the boyfriend bob just couldn't kick his habit and she had to choose him vs her kids I completely understand why addiction is considered as disability/limiting/handicap I don't think I understand why autism/aspergers is I do understand why if it's comorbid with something else as seemed to be the case with lots of the kids featured in the article. But alone, with no other cognitive impairment, it sounds more like an effective adaptation. Just because "normal" people aren't comfortable with it entirely doesn't make it a negative. I guess I really like Gary Egan's view of it. mk5000 "I guess that shows clearly that probability is subjective - you know whether the probability is 0 or 1; I know that it is 0 or 1, but I don't know which one."--marcus_b
