Voted up because I think AS is a great example of psychological diversity. I'm curious however as to the origin of your belief that AS people are more attracted to decompartmentalization than neurotypicals are.

I don't have evidence for that proposition, but I wanted to (shamelessly) point out that attraction to decompartmentalization can be phrased as a willingness to go from Level 1 to Level 2 in my hierarchy. That is, to go from understanding domains independently, to checking for global consistency and multi-directional implication across them.
