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.)

want some anecdotal evidence to go with the unsubstantiated theory?

Some of us suffer from hearing (and balance) problems, and we wondered about that for a long time - how could a personality (neural net?) affect hearing? Still, it just seems to be the case that some of us have hearing problems and most of us don't.

We've got a central auditory processing disorder, and it affects people slightly differently, so that could be one reason for it. (Since the inner ear is linked with balance, it's not inconceivable that balance problems could also dovetail with hearing ones-- some of us are pretty uncoordinated.)
