psychology

As a fully paid-up member of the geek race, I subscribe to a number of mailing lists on various geeky topics. On one of these mailing lists, there was recently an argument between several individuals, focussing in particular on one person whose behaviour was regarded by some others as obnoxious. The argument culminated in a post from another list subscriber, advancing the notion that the individual at the centre of the argument might have Asperger's Syndrome, and that this would account for his apparent obnoxiousness.
