Where does it say he has Aspergers? The headline says "Autistic" but nowhere does it say his parents took him to a psychologist or a psychiatrist for a diagnosis.
No offense intended but the article at www.indystar.com/article/20110320/LOCAL01/103200369/Genius-work-12-year-old-studying-IUPUI actually does say his parents got him diagnosed an that the diagnosis was
Asperger's syndrome, a somewhat milder condition related to autism.
Why are we segregating a community that has the skills for the task and seems to be willing to do the job at hand... it seems to me that the only reason for this segregation is trust issues and an association between crackers and hackers!!!:p
Big coincidence... About two weeks ago I downloaded the six seasons of "Futurama" from a friend, I just finished the sixth season and would you know it up pops a seventh xD
