This guy has an interesting website. He has the Aspie Quiz (referred to elsewhere on this site) as well as two surveys he's doing based on his premise of the "Neanderthal Theory". His survey asks about such things are flat feet, hair color, blood type, finger length. My statistics is not sophisicated enough to judge whether his analyses are correct, but I found it interesting that I did in fact have most of the attributes he names for aspies.

Click on Psychiatric covariation link, take the surveys and then go back to "evaluation" to see the graphs.

I remember doing this a while ago and being amazed at how many of the physical attributes match me. Flat-footed, loose joints, brown eyes... VERY strange!

I don't know my blood type, and I have an overbite rather than an underbite, but everything else on your lists applies to me too.

Flat feet are when you're standing up and your arch collapses. Google it.

I've heard about the ring finger being longer than the pointer finger.

In fact, in a local Asperger's e-mail list, some 100% of Aspies had this, 0% of the NT's on the list, with about 10 people in each category.

For the record, my ring fingers on both hands are longer than pointer fingers. Should we do a poll?

You mean not everyone's ring finger is longer than their pointer? I thought there may have been something odd about that.
