I have read Cyteen by C. J. Cherryh, and have been reading Regenesis, and i when i read about the Azi, i can't help but be reminded of people with autism. Any thoughts?

Quote:
Azi are introduced to "tape" or subliminal learning at birth, which has a profound effect on their psychological development [2]. They are less adept at handling unusual or new situations compared to normal humans; however, they are able to concentrate better[3]. Each azi has a Supervisor, to whom he or she looks to for orders and guidance. Azi are categorized using letters from a to z, with the very brightest (on the "Rezner scale") being classed as Alpha

Yup. I like the Azi. As I remember it helps having read 40,000 in Gehenna before Regenesis!
