Temple Grandin has autism and is renowned for her study of animals and design of cowpens (I've seen them). A friend of mine is autistic. He has trouble hanging on to jobs and would function best with a "job coach" but he does work (he was a competent computer operator) and finished college. He's married and lives with his wife in a rented house.In all seriousness, leaving out my rants about the Woman Shortage, it is surprising that your friend is married. I have heard that the behavoiral deficiences associated with autism and Asperger's makes it extremely difficult for people to form romantic relationships. IIRC, Temple Grandin is unmarried.
