Cyclelops:

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but my son has ASPERGERS also. He was diagnosed 4 years ago. He left home at age 20, and began gambling and that was it for him. He went on SSI, they gave him an apartment, a computer, (the worse thing in the world for a person with AS), and dvd. well, let's say he has it all.

He is absolutely obsessed with Second Life. Now I might be wrong, but I think the majority of people inside Second Life might just have Aspergers.

I mean, I wish my son was like the guy on Boston Legal. He might jump up and down, and make funny sounds, but he's an attorney for goodness sake. My son, and others like him, well, they just gave him everything so he's not motivated to work. He's absolutely brilliant and could have been a web designer. But no, Second Life, day and night (when he's not gambling).

oh well
