It is the size of the frontal cortex that helps separate the
human brain from that of other animals. This part allows humans to communicate, infer
meaning, and imagine, all basic to the socialization process. But there is a group of
people, primarily males, who lack a small piece of this frontal cortex and who suffer from
a mild form of autism. Identified as Asperger’s syndrome in 1940, this condition
makes them incapable of everyday social interactions. They live in a constant state of
anxiety, a result of the phobias that are a part of the disease. This program profiles the
symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome and what sufferers and their families can do to
overcome the limitations that it imposes. Original BBC broadcast title: I’m Not
Stupid. (30 minutes, color)
