Aspies For Freedom

I don't normally post from work but on this occasion I will make a special case.

Syd Barrett, original Pink Floyd member, inspiration and rumoured aspie, has died.

This is simply amazing -
I havn't listened to Barrett's CDs for a couple of years now and havn't thought about him for a while, but this morning I found myself humming his tune "in the clock they sent through a washing machine, oh please hurry back, so alone..." and thinking to myself "yes, I have such a lot in common with this guy and he is certainly as autistic as I am".

Could anyone explain this strange coincidence, please?

A-dar?
Autuition?
