Tim Page writes for the New Yorker about Asperger's syndrome.  It's another well-written and revealing article from the Aspie perspective.

Yeah, I can identify. School in the sixties with Aspergers is not something anyone should have to go through.

Yet with my own children, I wonder if what I was forced to endure helped me to achieve the level of success that I did. My children are more intelligent, but less capable. Success in school != Success in life.

Some of that may also be the school system falling down on the job. The schools of today could never have turned out the Apollo generation.
