Michael Lewis, the author of "Liars Poker", has a book coming out soon on the financial crisis. An excerpt was recently published in Vanity Fair and features a very well done portrait of an AS market savant. I should note that the profiled savant evoked me very strongly, except I have two eyes and my accomplishments in finance are still to happen!

I would highly recommend this piece to anyone who wants to see some of the positives of AS portrayed by a very skillful writer.

That was a great story, down to who picked his brain and then blocked his larger company.

One thing the youth of today will never know is the feeling of discovering later in life that your life is a story in a book, Asperger's, that no one knew.

I was sure it was Scorpio Biker Syndrome, a one of a kind condition caused by my life, not the cause of my life.

He was like me, the endless study, but I never had the money to play on the ideas.

Together, we could be a force.
