Telling quote:

''There are plenty of folks with AS [Asperger syndrome] who are 
hard-working and productive. But they are drawn to computers and, if not 
properly mentored, I suppose that's where hacking could get started.''

and

"Grandin, Mitnick and several leading medical researchers say there is 
sufficient evidence to ask: Could AS be an indicator of children at risk 
of drifting into computer hacking?"

<my parents>
On no!  My kid's a 'hacker'!  I heard him say something about 'hacking 
php'...My poor boy is a drug addicted, autistic hacker...<sob, tear>
</mp>


These guys crack me up.
