What %age of people on SF have aspergers, or are otherwise sociopathic?

[Eason]

I'd say probably 20%. Let's name them.

Aspergers: mafoofan

 

[tagutcow]

I don't have Aspergers, but I do have a mild form of prosopagnosia, which is highly comorbid with Asperger's. I also have OCD (which was a HUGE problem during adolescence) and insomnia.

I actually like reading the writing of Aspies on the internet. Their prose usually seems to have a refreshing "whiteness" to it, when so much other writing seems to be overburdened with irony, attitude, and stylization.

hmmm. I always thought aspergers =/= sociopathy.

Asperger's is douchy. "Oh look at me! I'm slightly odd in a smart, good way! I see the world differently and have an elevated IQ and therefore I deserve to be treated specially!"

With incidence rates of between one and four per thousand, I doubt anyone on here has it. Especially since this is Styleforum.net, not Slashdot or some **** like that.

Agonosias are interesting. Is your prosopagnosia to the point that you don't recognize very familiar faces, such as as family members?

 

[JonHecht]

I do. My revealing characteristics used to be more prominent, but by means of negative conditioning (i.e., my brothers would beat the **** out of me whenever I did something "weird&quot, much of it has receded.
