<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 25255597, member: 27832&quot;]My take, based on varying degrees of personal experience -- it&#039;s quite possible he&#039;d like it. It&#039;s also possible that he&#039;d have zero interest. Best to offer him the <i>opportunity</i>, and see how he reacts.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Rain Man</i> and a lot of popular press on autism plays up the OCD aspects of the condition, and as we&#039;ve often said here, OCD and coin collecting (or any form of collecting) happily go hand-in-hand. But there&#039;s a lot more to autism than just that. Different people will have different reactions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it&#039;s good that we see autism as a <i>spectrum</i> now rather than a black-and-white diagnosis, but &quot;where you are on <i>the</i> spectrum&quot; is still a really crude classification. There are lots of different dimensions, and you can be fairly &quot;neurotypical&quot; on some of them, but far, far from the norm on others. Just like anything else having to do with human minds and personalities. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
