	What all the others have said. Also, brevity is the soul of wit.

	So not only does it minmax the fuck out of any int-based build, but you get 3 bonus feats on top of that? Come on, dude. Also, everything that Lez said. As someone who has Asperger's and has known several others who also do, I have to especially agree that the severity is way off-kilter. At least for a typical case.

	What Fox said, also flaws never grant benefits except the bonus feat. Also Asperger syndrome is not that extreme.

Mechanically:+3 feats and +6 int in return for bruising a bunch of dump stats. A trait masquerading as a flaw. Autistic people are not blinder, deafer, or worse at medicine than other people, nor are they unusually weak-willed or oblivious to their surroundings. Autistic people do not have unusually weak personalities. "(Both scores cannot be reduced to less than 1 by this flaw, but their modifiers can be reduced to less than -5.)" How the fuck does this work mechanically? Fluffwise: Autism does not work that way. All Autism is is a social deficiency to a varying degree- and Asperger's is a very mild form of that.

	I suspect this will receive an Oppose cloud soon, because trading out the option to participate in the social parts of the game in order to become the strongest Wizard/Psion/whatever in the world is bad in almost every way.
