Interesting. And yeah, not too surprising. I bet there are heaps in the tech world who are gazillionaires too, and probably even more in the entertainment world.

I guess the thing with aspberger's is it's a "spectrum" thing whereby some people have very strong symptoms while others do not. Although even looking at that list I can think of a few who'd be midrange functioning at best.

I'm thinking George W Bush would be on the low functioning range
 
Interesting reading about Daryl Hannah because you would think that people with aspergers wouldn't be good at acting. But i did drama in high school and i was fine. Not perfect but i didn't fail.

based on that list if you haven't seen the good life you would love it. Have you watched Porridge? And slightly later but Red Dwarf?

Cool. What was so good about it?

The mix of comedy and sci-fi, and good character chemistry. I like the premise of the storyline. It is a sense of humour that appeals to me, that not all comedies have. And maybe a comfort thing now too after watching it so much. I can put it on as background noise when I have a migraine and it sends me to sleep. (not sure if that sounds like a good selling point lol)
