'Talented' Asperger's man escapes jail for exam fraud
"A highly intelligent former City banker who suffers from Asperger's syndrome and an economics student have been given suspended jail sentences for cheating in university exams".
Drean's counsel told how his Asperger's disorder made him "vastly intelligent" but that it could make him act in socially unacceptable ways.
He said: "He displays a genius but also displays a lack of insight in ordinary social norms".
Why does this all sound too familiar?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
