Just as clarification: As someone who has atypically-manifesting autism, I participate in an internet community for people who are in various points of having, needing, and wanting a diagnosis for autism. While there's a disproportionate number of men within it, I believe the gender gap within that community is closer than society would want you to believe. But Mike, I think you understand the gray-area concept. From, Emily On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 7:28 PM, Michael J.
