I, too, have noticed that quite a few people on this wiki have (or believe they have) some type of autism, usually Asperger's. From what I know of that condition, I can't say I'm shocked. A major symptom of Asperger's is having narrow interests (although a lot of normal kids also have narrow interests), and I really don't find it surprising that such people would be attracted to things like writing fanfiction. In other words, I suspect that some of our Asperger's Syndrome users are active on this wiki because of their condition, not in spite of it.

(Medical trivia: the word "syndrome" is medspeak for, "we don't really know a lot about this".)
