Oh, gods, I think I'm in love! John Noble is brilliant, and I agree completely that he's a genius. The tiniest nuances of his expressions are just so fraught with impact, and he's so damned cheerfully insane, I'm smitten, entirely!
And gods, yes, the higher functioning autistics and Aspies are very much what you'd expect if certain parts of the brain were tampered with, I agree. It requires a constant readjustment of point of view for the neurotypicals having to deal with them.
But really, I'm so eager to see what you do with this!
