I'm on the borderline, pook. The NIH page describes my childhood pretty accurately, although calling autism a "developmental disorder" is kind of like calling being white a "melanin deficiency disorder".

For an overview of recent research in the area, I suggest reading http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627581.500-the-advan... before embarrassing yourself any further.
