		<description><![CDATA[I'm wondering if Aspies' resistance to change is related to the fact that we might notice or experience more details in life.  Situations that neurotypical people might feel are unchanging or monotonous might feel full of change for Aspies, since we are noticing more of the details of what's going on. ... I'm thinking maybe we're okay with change, but we simply get all the change we need in our day-to-day experiences -- even seemingly repetitive experiences. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is no coincidence that so many Aspies are scientists -- and atheists.  Scientists do not look for what is good or right; atheists do not look for what is unifying or comforting.  They look for what is true.  For what is.  Regardless of what anyone else says -- or threatens.  Did Copernicus have Asperger's?  Did Galileo?  I wonder.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A person with some characteristics of autism may be loyal, honest, trustworthy, hard-working, focused and thorough.  However, give the same person "too much" autism, and he or she becomes so severely impaired as to render these positive features unhelpful.  It is the impairment-to-benefit ratio, I think, that determines whether autism is a gift, a difference, or a disorder.]]></description>
