No. I voted Yes by mistake, though.

Most people on this forum (Flyers included) are not likely to have Asperger's, just nerds. If you've ever seen anything written by someone with Asperger's (as I have some with some personal webpages), the difference is QUITE clear. The only likely candidate I see is BushOklahoma though he probably just has some weird type of OCD.

As for the poll, no.

Yeah, everyone who isn't "normal" should be banned from voting.

I have been diagnosed with it. Personally I think it is horse manure psychologists made up. But hey...

To answer the question, should people with Draptomania be prevented from voting? Actually that would make a good poll...

So thank a lot to all those who think I'm unable to vote.

Have you actually been diagnosed with it? I've noticed 99% of people who believe to have Asperger's have not, and most likely don't.

Sincerely, I didn't imagine there were other people here having it. Hence the "for real".
I suspect however it has something to do with the fact we're always on the internet... Sad

No - one of our family friend's kids had it, and he's one of the most intelligent people I know - perfectly capable of voting.
