The British team under Simon Baron-Cohen, looking

strenuously in many places and ways, now found a

     the question is - how many of these are the 'old-style'

more severe cases, and how many the subtler forms ?

or is just the boundary moving, correctly recognized ?



[Communist joke from 1950's:

The Soviet tower - the tallest tower in the world !

The Soviet mammoth - the tallest mammoth in the world !!

The Soviet dwarf - the tallest dwarf in the world !!!]



     Thank you for thinking about this,
