Thread Name: BS: Aspergers Syndrome?
Subject: RE: BS: Aspergers Syndrome?
Also, it seems to me, people dealing with Asperger's can find places to excell today, or at least to survive somewhat comfortably, but in the past, I wonder how they faired. I wonder if some form of social Darwinism kept their numbers down.

                Like Hobos in the 1930's, how many of them might have had symptoms of Asperger's, or some other affliction, that prevented them from joining the mainstream society.
