The roots of autism?

2003-11-22 02:57:35.662791+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

It's been a tough week, sanity-wise. Charlene was just doing some web research that took her to some pages on autism where I saw symptoms of "head banging, groaning and grimacing". I realized that some people think that there seems to be a prevalence of autistic children among computer programmers.

Something clicked: These kids are just modeling the only rational response to working with users.
