If Cracked is to be believed about Thomas Jefferson, American Society might in fact already have been created by someone with Aspergers.

Cracked generally prefers funny to fact. All great persons are claimed by several disorders. As Jefferson died 80 years before Hans Asperger was born, I would not put my reputation on it. AFAIK, there is no procedure for differential diagnosis based on historical documents and primary sources.

Besides, American society existed before the United States of America.

Schools would be places where kids actually wanted to go. School would also be a safe place for everyone even if they're different from the norm. And teachers would be paid more than professional athletes.

Oh do I wish this world existed..... :(
