Thanks for the post. I tried to find the origin of this photo, but so far I only found that there was an image of an adult with Asperger’s prior this image.

There is also this discussion:

In any case, I highly doubt any existing Asperger’s diagnosis; its complicated, if not impossible, to diagnose Asperger’s.

Spending some time with molecular structures is healthier that spending the time with doctors. Cheers!

“Spending some time with molecular structures is healthier that spending the time with doctors.”

Absolutely! Next time my wife (a doctor) is bugging me while I’m working, I’ll tell her it’s unhealthy.

I stand corrected. It’s definitely healthier to spend the time with family that working with molecules.

It’s interesting that the only criteria that all existing Asperger’s diagnostics tests agree is the social interaction impairment. The problem with this is that, in order to become a good scientist, one needs to spend less time with friends and family, and more time with books or molecules. So the social interaction impairment seems inevitable for PhDs (but not for MDs). Cheers!
