Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi Jerry, I don't doubt that Spielberg has an Asperger's diagnosis, or that he is one of us...what I am very curious about is...how long has this been " public knowledge " ? I see it's on lots of web sites...but how long has it been there? do you suppose the news media have hounded him for interviews about it, but he just said, " no " ? I would think it would have made a bigger splash. Still hoping he'll do something big for autism/asperger's with his money. I mean, look how helpful Bill Gates is going around the world vaccinating kids so they too can have a chance at being autistic. (bad joke) For that matter, my relative Jim could cough up a mill or so for autism. http://www.pbs.org/wttw/ceoexchange/episode_101/jclark_bio.html :-) Camille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told a friend of mine that he had a PDD Dx as a kid which for a person born in 1955, could mean he had AS and they just didn't know about it. I think he might be public but there was a nasty article about him and AS back in 1996. It was in a British computer magazine and concluded that " if people like Bill Gates can possibly have such a serious social disorder as Asperger Syndrome and attain positions of such responsibility, society must be concerned. " I mean, we better help NAAR and IMFAR exterminate the future Gates of the world!!!!! > > For that matter, my relative Jim could cough up a mill or so for > autism. > > http://www.pbs.org/wttw/ceoexchange/episode_101/jclark_bio.html > > :-) > Nothing like rich relatives who don't do shit for us, is there?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi, Thanks for answering. That would explain Bill Gate's silence. I'm glad to hear the he donates discretely...got his email? just kidding. I wish I could email my second cousin, Jim, but I'm sure he's on guard against second cousins looking for money. :-) Camille > > > > Hi Jerry, > > > > I don't doubt that Spielberg has an Asperger's diagnosis, or that > he > > is one of us...what I am very curious about is...how long has this > > been " public knowledge " ?
