That includes kids on the autism-asperger's continuum. We read this Wired piece together and were both fascinated by it. As cliched as "out of the box" is, we agreed that this is a good standard for that expression. My wife says she's heard of similar work by others who are willing to blur the lines between "normal" and "abnormal." So glad you mentioned it here.
