  A Little Autism in All of Us?

  Tony Attwood says that Asperger's (and I would imagine autism too) is like a 100 piece puzzle... everyone has some of the pieces, no one has all of them.  It takes about 80 to be diagnosed, but even seemingly 'normal' people have around 20, and one parent of an AS kid is likely to have around 50.
  
  Fits in with the spectrum idea... just depends on where you are on the continuum, and whether or not it is a 'disabling' quantity or area of issues.

  A Playlist for the Sound-Sensitive

  Kelly leans to Hans Zimmer (movie scores - Batman Begins, Pearl Harbor, Gladiator) and his current favorite is Carmina Burana (Orff).  Other than the Carmina, he's not overly fond of choral music, which is my husband's preference.  He sings along with many songs on the radio and commercials on tv, although he refuses to sing in choir.  He started playing french horn in band this year, and had piano lessons when he was 5 and 6.
