I will read the article, but I am the parent of two autistic children and I would almost lay money on being considered the possessor of an empathizing or balanced brain. I'll comment on the article after I read it.

Edit: The article fits us and does not fit us, if that makes sense. I'm a reasonably strong Feeler, so I do not think we have the S/S thing going on as the article theorizes. Both being INs, however, my husband and I are more alike than unlike. We both have sensory issues and I do test fairly high on non-mathematical logic. It would not surprise me if my husband is an undiagnosed aspie, so with his quirks and me not only not overriding them, but adding my own, well, it's no huge surprise that of our four children, two of them (our sons) are on the spectrum. Our daughters have quirks of their own, but are considered neuro-typical. So whatever that means . . .
