"He has taught himself to look people in the eye, but finds it difficult still. These things do not come naturally. His senses are heightened, and therefore he dislikes noise. And he needs order. While his flat is much less minimalist than MacKay's and is crammed with books and papers and objects, everything is in its place."

Yeah. I was told from my friend, nina about him being autistic. I did an essay on him in art.

Very interesting article. Possibly a tad too analytical in its attempt to see almost every action of the man through the lens of autism - but no doubt an engaging read. Thanks for posting.

You know, I'm not so fussy about messy bedrooms etc... but I realised today I get very angsty if my plans are disordered. I don't like not knowing EXACTLY what I'm going to be doing in a day (eg, when my friends are like "We might be seeing a movie tomorrow, we'll let you know." or something). I'll even stress out trying to plan my whole week in advance. O.o Anyone else like that?
