Here is an NPR article about research into how the brains of people with autism differ from those of people without. I found it very interesting. I really believe we live in the 'pioneering times' where progress like this are the small unsure steps onto the mostly uncharted shores of the workings of human brainkind.

I enjoyed the Internet wiring anology... my own mind is for sure 2 rusty tomato soup cans and a frayed string. :~)

Anyroads, here's the link to the article:

Thanks for the interesting link. It makes sense to me.

My brain was shorted out as a child by slide walking on carpets and then touching metal railings. Also, by rubbing balloons on the same carpets, and then sticking them to the ceilings, walls, and a poodle. :lol:
