Asperger himself seems to have been a bit spectrum-y as a child, endlessly reciting the verse of Austrian poet Franz Grillparzer, to his classmates’ dismay.

He is a developmental psychologist specialising in autism. His quiz was designed to detect autism and my score probably suggests I am "spectrumy" — to use a non-technical term — rather than a psycho.

But that ability to hyperfocus is the cause for countless inventions that have enhanced all our lives. Many inventors are "spectrumy" individuals because it takes that kind of scientific mind and dogged pursuit against all odds…to see what's essentially just a vision through to completion.
