I find this interesting because the consensus perception of a hippy is so at odds with generally recognised Aspergian traits - flexible boundaries, no fixed routine, free love etc. I feel like a hippy, look like a hippy, eat granola (!), listen to hippy music, dream of wandering round the world with...
