RE: Book Review: In a Different Key
Nice book tip! Peter Thiel says that autism is just some kind of neurodiversity and a key to success as an innovator (most techies in Silicon Valley are aspies).

I'm glad you like it! I hope to keep posting lots more stuff you like!
Peter Thiel also sues news organizations he dislikes out of existence merely for saying anything bad out of him, so I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt. (I was never a fan of Gawker, but as both a student journalist and a strong proponent of a free press, I have some HUGE problems with what he did.)
A larger percent of techies are also aspies than the population at large, though, he has that right. That does not guarantee success in tech as an aspie, or aspie dominance of tech. The figures are very, very different in tech management, for instance.
