I felt that, well, that is a spoiler, but this book definetly frustrated me deeply.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395406512079608484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530548799681444324.post-2465684730869739142010-01-11T03:24:50.725-06:002010-01-11T03:24:50.725-06:00The protagonist of Heilein's "Misfit"...The protagonist of Heilein's "Misfit" is someone who would today be clearly recognized as Aspie. He has difficulties in socializtion (although by the end of the story, he has found/earned/created a niche for himself where he is valued) and has savant-type abilities with math, spacial reconning, and (if I remember right) memory. It's interesting to read this story today and recognize him as aspie and that he is not conceptualized as disabled (although his social difficulties are recognized) but as very valuable and a hero.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530548799681444324.post-16102268612951882052009-02-20T15:46:00.000-06:002009-02-20T15:46:00.000-06:00I guess we can call ourselves replicants then!I guess we can call ourselves replicants then!Beastinblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001553829217827228noreply@blogger.com
