by definition most people are normal and not mentally ill Hang on - Maybe most people are normal at any given time, but I think it's worth pointing out that 52% of people have some sort of diagnosable mental "illness" at some point in their lives. At least this is the generally accepted statistic during A level and BSc psychology. (No, I can't remember the source nor my methodological critique).
And to the person who said "see a psychiatrist" - psychiatrists diagnosing autistic related disorders really worries me. See a qualified psychologist.
I'm a savant, in fact I was a "low functioning" autistic while I was younger. Fortunately, a really loving group of friends accepted me the way I was, I got support, a psychologist, love... I spent two years gradually entering the minds of those around me, now I understand (mostly) the whole social regime.
I'm called a genius by many (I resent that), that I never get anything wrong... Is it wrong not to get facts right? Is it so awful to think perfectly objectively?
I feel extremely lucky to be able to be autistic, help maintain http://wrongplanet.net/ & also enjoy the social aspects of life, which are beautiful, fascinating, & above all so much fun. My brain (or rather EQ should I say) is larger than "normal", as shown by a CAT scan, so I suppose that supports this study...
Great findings. I love autism, I'm going in for clinical psychology myself.
I hope that didn't drift off topic to a large degree...

How about a link to ReactOS in the summary?
This time, we don't want to take their website down.
It'd be better to invest more in that than to play Armageddon. That's what the dinosaurs thought, and look where it got them.
You seem to have mistaken Lucifer (the light bearer) with Belial (the deceiver). Nevertheless, a deceptive person could still make a valid argument.

The MPAA, however, needs to learn the meanings of "external validity" and "sample bias".
They certainly know the meaning of "vested interest", however.
You mean Eastasian.
Am I the only person who thinks this will be used against "piracy"?
If he needs assistance for doing that ... he's beyond help.
Never heard of it. Are you sure you don't mean evolutionary psychology?
