Comments about ‘Autism story line in 'Parenthood' based on real life’

Aspergers Syndrome is more common than most of us realize. If fact there is a little bit of aspergers in all of us. It, and Autism is guaged on a spectrum from less to extreme.

If there were 100 oddities or idiosyncracies that were defined, everyone would have 20 - 30 of them. But 20 - 30 is "normal" (ie you are an NT). Some people may have 35 or 40, and they are a little odd, but still normal. People with Aspergers would have 60 - 70 of these idiosyncracies.
