A few weeks ago, I had the honor of speaking with Ramon Selove and his son Nathan. They are both Aspergians. Both ridiculously intelligent. Both are wonderful people.
Nathan has put together an amazing video about his travails as a young man growing up with Aspergers. You should watch it...

He states at the end that if there were a cure, he wouldn't take it. I don't blame him. I don't think my son would want it, either.
For my son, it has helped him develop a uniquely amazing personality. A near perfect ear for music, a computer whiz, a Whovian and He also happens to be the most intelligent human I have ever met! How many 8 year old kids do you know that sing Blue Oyster Cult these days?
