"....Had lunch w/ a former classmate, who has( as is now diagnosed) Asbergers Syndrome. It's a form of autism. It was fun, and interesting. I haven't seen him in about 30 years. He's doing OK, way better than I expected. He's in the Guinness Book of world records, a few different times. Do you understand the word " perseveration " as applied to psychology? It means to perform a task repeatedly, with no goal. It applies particularly well to autistics. And in Lee's case, it produced a 5600 page poem entitled" A Cure For Insomnia". Out of room(???)"
