Question

It's been suggested that multiplicity might be more common in people with/whose body has Aspergers' syndrome or autism, and I'm rather curious how well that holds up.

Do you or anyone in your system have Aspergers' syndrome or autism? If so, is it a system-wide thing, or particular to a certain person or group?


We have Aspergers' syndrome, and it appears to affect everyone in our system to some extent. (None of us is all that good at understanding social situations or reading body language, for instance, and the lot of us have 'odd' interests.)

In that thread it's been mentioned that someone, unnamed, theorized that this is the case. I percieve a significant difference in the statements.

True, and I agree. I've also been hearing that theory around and about for years now, in different phrasings. I can't recall anyone citing sources, but some people seemed to have more information than others (and I'm generally pretty good at distinguishing theories with data backing them up from those that haven't much, or any).

I might change the phrasing on that. Going to think about it for a while first.
