As for Asians, I’d be interested to see if their lack of boredom means they have entire populations that are farther out on the Asperger’s scale than Westerners. They seem to have less empathy for other people than Westerners, and can be mind-bogglingly brutal to each other in a way that’s very aspy. They also can be utterly focused on boring stuff–especially if it’s visual-spacial work–in a manner that’s not Western. That’s also an aspy trait. Some people call Aspergers’ the disorder of ‘too much male brain,’ and it makes sense in the case of Asians.
