multiplicity_archivesIt'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.)

One of us spent a lot of time when we were a child learning how to adjust facial expressions to communicate what she was feeling - the body didn't synch up to her internal state well. People kept misreading what she was feeling and that caused a lot of problems. She's always been very good at reading other people's emotional states though.
