Every thing I know about it is what I've read in the articles I posted and the comments I made. I sent a copy of the Little Proffesor article to one of my brothers who agreed I sometimes show some of the traits to some degree and those are often under conditions where I'm feeling stressed.
As I noted in my last post I believe we all have some of these tendencies, they are just much more marked and consistent in those for whom it is labelled a syndrome, because they are that much further from today's mainstream definition of normal. In the article some of the AS folks referred tot he normals though they were just referring to the predominant norm, which didn't match theirs.
What sort of work does your uncle do?
