I am tickled.  That is a very apt spoof.

This also came up on the Galt's Gulch Online discussion board, but with a different host site. It is apparently being picked up on.
Here is the link to the discussion there. Within that was this http://musingsofanaspie.com/2013/01/10/what-is-neurotypical/ offered by EAJewett a few comments down from the top.  Note that it garnered four votes for a +5, so it had some approval from the audience.
That link, "One Woman's Thoughts About Life on the Spectrum" had several more similar at the bottom of that page. =georgia>

In LS's topic on RoR, I suggested that the popularity of the subject as well as television shows such as Bones and of course Big Bang Theory indicate that NA (neuro-atypical) people are becoming less statistically atypical.  Like IQ - and, I submit, the continued success of the works of Ayn Rand - it suggests a shift in our fundamental sociology.  On my blog, I have four posts under the rubric "Nerd Nation."
