one for all you guys at Uni ,

A banking genius with Asperger's syndrome and the economics student he tried to help have been given suspended jail terms for cheating in exams.

Robert Smith QC, for Drean, said Askerov, who was described as "not particularly bright academically", asked Drean to sit his exams and paid him between £200 and £1,000 each time.

I always thought how it would be relatively easy to have someone else pass an exam for me. For instance, the other day, I went to an exam of a course for which I had never been present in class. If I had been unknown to the other students, I could have sent anyone in my place to do the exam and probably gotten away with it. Still, I'm in academia to learn and not to get the grades, so it's not something I would do.

You must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good or evil will follow on that act. The World is in balance, in equilibrium.  It is most Perilous. It must follow Knowledge and serve need. To Light a Candle is to cast a Shadow.

Thanks for the link on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome,
"the little professors " yeah so true , but real life kicks their ass  ,
BTW, it is believed Einstein and D'vinci had that condition ,along with many other tallented folk ,
and it has nothing to do with I.Q , just they see life differently to most folk
