dj,
great articles (I also enjoyed your depression one above)! I was just telling Sara above that one of my uncle's has Asperger's Syndrome. And you're right, all disorders/syndrones melt into one another.
If you haven't all ready seen 32 short films about Glenn Gould, rent it. It is really brillant…and yes he was wonderfully quirky. If I remember correctly, he had only one close friend - a cousin. Or this is how it seemed in the film.
I digress, but one of the writers of this film (Don McKellar), went to create a series with CBC called Twitch City. Basically it was about the life of an agoraphobic, eccentric young man who wouldn't leave his house. To give you an idea of how quirky it was, one show's plot went like this: After the 2 roommates fight about getting catfood for the fat cat, 1 roommate leaves to go to the corner store. He gets in a fight with a bag man, accidently kills him and ends up in jail. An always whacky and pleasantly surprising, if you're interested? It may have finished in March.
You must feel a bit relieved to have a better idea of yourself dj,
Peace, love and all that good stuff,
Janice
