 Granular?
 
 I'm not sure what you mean by this in this sentence.
 

More detailed or granular sense. I'm not sure what you don't understand.
Autistics are often capable of telling much finer differrences. The idea is
that such people might have dificulty teling the difference between stemuli
at a larger granularity becouse their sweet spot is gaged much finer. If
most people could not see green and but you could, you would have a more
granular sense than they. You might also have difficulty nameing which colour
yellowish blue or bluish yellow is. Although if you get very specific this
example is not consistent with the way humans see colour, it is the simplest
way to describe the consept.

I've suspected I might have Aspergers (or however you'd put it) since
Michael first mentioned it several years back, and I went to the
links he gave.


You wouldn't happen to have some of those for me, now would you?


I don't know what Michael posted, but here's what I researched for a 
friend a few months ago.  I don't know if all of these are still active 
and some of the info is probably redundant.

That'll keep me busy for a while then. Thanks.

You're quite welcome, Sonja.
