Which is It? Asperger’s Syndrome or Giftedness? Defining the Differences

Cindy Little

I am an intelligent, unsociable, but adaptable person. I would like to dispel any untrue rumors about me. I am not edible. I cannot fly. I cannot use telekinesis. My brain is not large enough to destroy the entire world when unfolded. I did not teach my long-haired guinea pig Chronos to eat everything in sight (that is the nature of the long-haired guinea pig). (Osborne, 2000, p. 10).
