If you label empathic skills as feminine (also female intuition), this would make sense - the only spanner in the works being that girls can have Aspergers too.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646936995485109020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020257.post-1138100228489026122006-01-24T10:57:00.000+00:002006-01-24T10:57:00.000+00:00Thanks JaneLewis is pretty well one track minded -...Thanks Jane<BR/>Lewis is pretty well one track minded - he is extremely educable provided its a subject that inspires him.

(well, females) I'm much more prone to remember the social aspects of events than technical ones. But as you said, not all females think like this. <BR/>Your son, on the other hand, sounds like a genius!
