I actually find it rather intresting.....especially since according to a lot of tests I've gone through I have some weird things going on genetically(i think that is the right word). Basically at first they thought I might have had Muscular Dystrophy when I was about 7.......then they soon decided it looked more like I just carried it and might not want to ever have kids if that was the case. But eventually they threw that idea out as well and have not really been able to figure out what the deal is. I even let them take a small peice of my muscle tissue to study and basically all they can find is there is something rather odd.

But anyways to the point maybe its related to something like differences in the brain.....I don't know how many people with aspergers or autism have been tested the way I was and at the time even I did not know about the aspergers so I don't know maybe I will inform them of that but maybe there is something to it.

but I don't know.

actually, this ties in pretty well with the rdos.net neanderthal theory, which also implies visible genetic differences on several levels.
and as a matter of fact; when i had my jaw surgery (my lower jaw was about 2 centimeters too short...), i got told afterwards that i lost a dispropotionately large amount of blood, becouse several arteries were cut that weren't supposed to be there, yet they were almost the same on both sides of my jaw;
also, i was up and running at a rate noone expected; i was kept in hospital for a night for observation and they expected me to leave the afternoon after in a wheelchair, but i was walking to the toilet by myself (ok, leaning on a cane, but still) only hours after the surgery; something that i should not be able to do untill averagely 2 days after surgery; with 'standard' blood loss; so with my extra loss, they expected it'd take a week to be able to take care of myself; yet that week was all i needed to make a full recovery to the point that nothing was visible anymore.
