Again, as someone who knows him, I would disagree with your assessment.
thank you. You would know better. However, nobody bekueved me, either, until I proved it.

If you have ever known him to be even slightly... Spiteful, then I am wrong. That's the easiest test.

However, if he loves everyone, if he gets caught up in analysis and doesn't realize the effect it has on people, if he can play a Beethoven concerto in his head, you may be wrong.

I hope Mr . king would not be offended by my speculation. I'll stop now, if that is the case. I respect the man.

And if he's not, would you tell him he has written several characters which are beautifully constructed autistics, if that's how one chooses to analyze them.

Sorry for the typos.

And my type of autism is not in the literature. I know if it because if my work and my psychiatrists.

The fundamental difference is a facility for abstractions. The autistic mind is normally described as the extreme version of the male mind. Mine is the extreme version of the female. I wonder about other people. But Mr. Kind is not subject to meet speculation.

Meaning huge is who ghee actually is.

What I have noticed is that Stephen is a keen observer of people and able to translate that into creating believable characters whatever their personality quirks may be. That does not make him an autistic, though, any more than it makes him a bigot when he writes about characters who have those traits or a murderer or a sociopath or that it is actually his wife writing when he accurately portrays female characters. He has no problems interacting with people and is not socially awkward when it is necessary to be around people but also enjoys solitary time, he has no problem making eye contact and has excellent verbal and written language skills. He has admitted to being a bit OCD about some things but I haven't seen anything that would indicate to me it's a clinical situation.

Your analysis is pointed and pertinent. He could still be one of me. Anyway, I started this thread because he doesn't have time for such things, but his friends would be extraordinarily intelligent and observant.

Thank you. I don't feel I've wasted my time.

And your right. He could not possibly be a psychopath, for instance, but his psychopaths are only intelligently constructed.

I guess my only salient point is that that bastard has done right by autistics, and if you'd tell him so, I'll appreciate it.

And an fmri might help a rich person like himself.

One of my favorite TV shows is Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and my favorite episode is about a man with Asperger Syndrome. I realize that you James don't have that, but talk of autism always makes me think of Aspergers.
