Maybe you've already read this, maybe you haven't. Anyway, here's a link. It makes interesting (and a little terrifying) reading.

A WYSIWYG world, where respect and rewards are based strictly on merit, is an Asperger's dream.
alright how many Asperger's are on this site?

Seriously though, it's kind of scary the way that, intentionally or unintentionally, a whole colony of these children are cropping up in the Silicon Valley area. Probably because this area attracts a certain type of high functioning individual, both male and female, and for the first time in history an environment where these types can meet and procreate, exists.

Hmmmm. It would make an excellent Hollywood thriller. Anyone up to writing the screenplay?

Go ahead Motion, actually may be able to make a good bit of money off of that one.
"Coming to a theater near you, CodeHeads! ... They are smart, They've been hiding in Silicon Valley too long, and they want you. Ha Ha Ha Ha. You'll be hanging on the edge of your seat the whole time wondering what will they do next?"
Ok, that wasn't the best. Mine is warped, can't think or see straight.
