My wife works with children, some of whom are on the spectrum (as they say) and there is indeed a line of thinking that their abilities to focus so intently on one subject matter could be of real benefit to the wider community.

Yeah we work in an area where attention to detail is an asset and a lot of them thrive at it picking up stuff others may not. Socially they all seem to have settled in quite well, some can be a bit "different" but nothing major. I sit near them at lunch quite often (they prefer to stick together) and some of the conversations are extremely entertaining. Sometimes it's like Sheldon from Big Bang talking to two or three other Sheldon's! One works in my pod and besides humming constantly doesn't seem any different to the rest of us.
Another used to always feel the need to knock on my desk when he walked past it,annoyed the hell out of me. Instead of confronting him I built a wall on the edge of my desk from staplers, water bottles etc and it had the desired effect. When I look at my little man made wall I wonder to myself if it's them with the disability or me!

Corrected it for you Benny... sorry it was a half volley outside off-stump for me. It was begging to be put away!
