Lazy Blogger!

I’m a lazy blogger. Look how long it’s been since I blogged. A week! Anyway, nothing much has been going on I s’pose. I’m settling into school. The online thing will throw you for a loop at first but it’s not half bad once you get used to it. I’m sick. I’ve gotten myself a sore throat and some sinus issues. I’m thinking that it’s viral though. Nothing’s in the back of my throat (as usual.. haven’t had strep since I went to a pediatrician).

Anyway, I’ve talked to some interesting people online lately. This one gentleman I talk to suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a close relative of Autism but doesn’t have all of the hard signs of autism. It’s a spectrum disorder, which means you have a grab bag of symptoms and everyone has different ones. If you’re thinking it’s confusing, you’re right. This is one of those things that’s very hard to assess correctly and usually takes years of therapy and time with the guys in the white coats to figure it out. The funny thing is he’s a geek, and a couple of years ago I read a few studies about Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome in Silicon Valley. Seems like geeks who marry geeks end up with children with both of these disorders somewhat regularly. I’ll see if I can find any research and I’ll sum it up here for those who are interested in reading it. So a word to the wise: If you’re an engineer and your honey is an engineer, I’d consider adoption.
