Interesting article about the theory that the U.S. 19th century explorer Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis & Clark Expedition) might have been an Aspie. I don't know whether I agree with them or not because I haven't read enough about his life and the things they mention in the article could be attributable to other causes.

Aren't autistics supposed to be cat lovers? Wink

When it's that far back it's really hard to tell. Usually there isn't enough information.
