Bits of this sound awfully familliar. Not completely, of course, but definitely on a smaller scale.

What's the difference between autism and just being a geek? I was under the impression that autism was a genetic thing. I wonder if something akin to autism isn't taught to us (meaning geeks) somehow as we develop. Is that along the lines of what you were thinking?

Nope, I was wondering if being a geek was genetic.
