I have recently found the wisdom and community of poor third world communities interesting. While illiterate many are very smart. They have a very different approach to things and I find it facinating. Look up barefoot college for an example.

How do aspies live in their society. Most of the villages require a tight knit society. How do their aspies fit in? Anyone?

I'm a 3rd world resident.
Went through 2 undergrad courses, one masters and one phd (current).

Illiterate, really?


I'd tend to agree, it's rare for smart people to be illiterate anywhere in the world these days.
