Maybe you'd have to know him to really understand, but it's hard for even a crumugeon that I can be sometimes to be grumpy in his presense. You'd also be amiss to not discuss the Brigadoon Pioneers, a group in SL that *helps* people with autisim and aspbergers learn to deal with the real world in the simulated environment. http://braintalk.blogs.com/brigadoon/ http://www.slnn.com/index.php?SCREEN=article&about=aspergers-syndrome-brigadoon http://www.torley.com

It has to be said, though, that <a href="http://www.drdangottlieb.com/aboutdrdan.htm" rel="nofollow">life has not exactly been a bed of roses</a> for the man. Whether this instills you with any sympathy for him or is merely a source of <i>Schadenfreude</i> is up to you. (Personally, I vacillate myself.)
