Default Re: Pzhon\'s Post about Math and Nerds

WARNING anecdotal evidence:

"Math's and science types" often have functional characteristics resembling Asperger's Syndrome.
I suspect social deficits may be a consequence more of the Genotype than of evironmental factors.

I and most of my high IQ friends share some of these social deficits, despite wildly different life experiences.

I think it's the social intuition that's most likely to be defective. The Math's type person may have to work out what to do, rather than knowing what to do. We often get it wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
