Speaking of which, that television show I was watching about Asperger Syndrome at Grandma's had this bit about the thing most people find confusing about sufferers is the way they handle grief. The death of a pet is a crushing blow to someone with Asperger, but they'll very quickly and easily accept the death of a family member. This is while I was in the home of someone who had died without a tear shed from me. When my cat died I was depressed for six months.
