Well, I didn't get permission, but it's an open post, so I'll crosspost anyway

Apparently Cat Chant was written to be on the spectrum. Or maybe DWJ retconned that in, because I don't know how much she's likely to have known about not-so-stereotypical autism when she wrote the first books a few decades ago. But now he's supposed to have always been on the spectrum.

I gotta say, I don't really see it, except that he's a little obtuse at times, as in never noticing his own sister was totally evil, but then - who would notice that?

I'll re-read the books though with that in mind. I'm really posting this to giggle a little at how one commenter says he's totally not aspie, but maybe HFA, and another commenter says he's totally not autistic, but maybe aspie.

I mean, I'm high on midol and sinus pain - this sort of thing strikes me as terribly funny :)

Oh, and there's an article on the most recent scandal by That Organization. If you're not a member, your comments will be screened.
