Give your definition of what aspergers is
Aspergers has in the past equated to confusion, when it came to interaction, or rather relaying information accurately/effectively, why I kept on bashing into the door frame, had dropped another glass, hated change and couldn't get my arm to quit twitching, I was constantly confused.

"auto" comes from ancient greek.
the word they used was "autos" which was their word for "self"
that was about 1000 B.C.
yes.
my point exactly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarchy
the concept stems from Ancient Greek Polical Philosophy
(would there be such a thing as non-ancient greek philosophy)
in practice, self-sufficience translates as independence,
so i always thought of it as quite a reasonable goal, if attainable,
which, in retrospect, comes across as a quite autistic point of view
(rather than theory-of-mind)
& even that can be taken both ways
i'm not sure whether the old thinkers ever saw their
theoretical vision embodied in any autarchic city state
anyway, in the real world, it doesn't work
ironically, if it would be the auti-goal to be (survive) independent(ly),
that goal is self-defeating
meanwhile, do i hear bells aringing?
