Autism is a pretty distinct disorder. Aspergers less so, which definitely exists in a gray area, but at the "darker" end it's pretty clear that it isn't something that is taught. Somebody here posted a youtube link to a woman talking about what it's like to have autism a while back. Her experience was definitely not something you can teach, such as the way some people are taught to live without emotions or ethics that britguy was referring to.

you are the media you consume.
