My son has Asperger’s and I know several other kids and adults with the condition.

The behavior described above doesn’t sound like Asperger’s to me at all. It’s possible that it was poorly observed or that the guy has other problems as well, though.

Strange. I find it hard to imagine that someone with Asperger’s would be interested in such a social vocation.

Weird. I have only heard of Asperger’s recently, and really know absolutely nothing about it. I was recently doagnosed with bipolar II and have been mortified by the realization that chances are slim I will be able to hold down any sort of normal career because of my illness.

I read the whole article you linked to, and found it pretty awesome that this person is able to work between his illness, and has the support of his bandmates. I realize that maybe I should pursue that career in novel-writing I’ve always dreamed of. It really would be the perfect profession for an unstable personality!

Thanks for the fascinating read.
