Here's a story I just found...about an autistic man who's been building complicated structures out of legos. Of course I immediatly thought of Jeremiah, even before I found out that he'd named the structure "Urville".

wow! check out the guy's site! Autistic or not, this guy is amazing! I am absolutely humbled by his drawing ability (and I view myself as a comeptant drawerer-erer...er....)
Amazing detail!
Although not the same form of autism as Jerimiah has ...

Amazing... absolutely amazing.
Maybe the next step would be the countrysides and surrounding areas.
(This guy draws better than most "artists" that I have seen draw.)

That's Asperger's Syndrome for you: autistic geniuses.

I don't know too much about it, are they geniueses despite or because of their Asperger's Syndrome? Or does their autism merely make it easy for that inbred intelligence to perpetuate itself?
