Wow. This is one account of a famous person having Aspergers that I will believe.
Btw, I love this cartoon: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/open_source.png.

From http://oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/ch03.html I quote from Richard's mother:

Quote:

In recent years, Lippman says she has taken to reading books about autism and believes that such episodes were more than coincidental. "I do feel that Richard had some of the qualities of an autistic child," she says. "I regret that so little was known about autism back then."

Legal note:The books license: GFDL. But what version is it?(1.1, 1.2 or 1.3?). Thinking about GFDL, I think it is similar to Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike (CC-BY-SA) kind of licenses.

Since learning about AS, I've thought about RMS several times.

Never met him in person, but chatted about 10 years ago with an MIT student who did meet him at a grad party, and described him thusly:

"Bob Marley and computers."

I still use EMACS too.

You don't have to agree to Fuzzy. You are entitled to your opinion.

I only used emacs a few times when I was in an "emergency" = stuck on the commandline. So I started the emacs tutorial, to learn some basics. (what I wanted to learn mainly was how to save a file) After some time the tutorial mentioned saving, but it took it's time. A few days and hours.. reading the tutorial.

I never said I still use EMACS

And I can not say someone has aspegers without definate proof

Learn people, learn! This is how you make an "is he an aspie?" thread.

Your statement suggests you believe the portrayal points positively towards autism, you simply wish to be non-committal unless a professional confirms it?
