This American Life #458: Play the Part.
ACT TWO: WIFE LESSONS. Kristen Finch was a speech therapist who sometimes worked with kids with Asperger Syndrome, symptoms of which include emotional distance, inflexibility and missing social cues. Kristin and her co-workers often joked that all their husbands had Asperger’s, since the symptoms overlap with stereotypically male personality traits. But then Kristen wondered—what if it was actually true for her husband Dave? (15 1/2 minutes)
Act two of this week’s This American Life features a man with Asperger Syndrome who learns to cope by developing an intuitive understanding of how emotions work as a system. Sound familiar, INTPs?

Yeah it does sound familiar. This is what I’ve been working on for a while. So far it’s not going brilliantly. I’m bad when I’m tired.

Don’t even start with this bullshit xD I’ve had plenty of aspie and intp friends. They’re very distinct differences in their external ways!
