The following link is to that of an article about Pokemon creator Satoshi Taijiri. Clicky!

If, for some reason, you can't read the article, I'll give you the gist. According to the article, Satoshi Taijiri has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism.

When I learned this, I was simultaneously surprised and not surprised. I mean, it kind of makes sense to me. I guess I'll go out on a limb here and say that I have a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome too. Maybe that's why Pokemon appeals to me so much.
