Some of us wear our ignore list entries with pride.

I sometimes forget to use the preview option and go back to correct a typo, a usage issue, or something in between (Did my brain or fingers cause me to type "to" instead of "two").
Of course I find myself drilling into that kind of detail and making corrections, am I merely being a good writer or am I giving in to some facet of Aspergers. I've never been diagnosed, and if I did have it I would be a '1' on the kind of scale Messageboardjunkie describes, but I always wonder if it's there.
In general, unless the grammer, punctation, and spelling are so tortured that I get a headache trying to follow it, I'll generally ignore the flaws to read a message.
I personally would
love to have something like autocorrect to check spelling and grammar in my posts. I could always type them in Word and cut-and-paste them in here.
Anyway, while I was on the subject of hidden disabilities, I would like to say that it would be interesting if there ever was a completely thorough assessment of the population so that we could finally understand how many people have some kind of disorder, from color-blindness, to dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, Autism, Aspergers, Bi-Polar, etc. The ranks of the functioning flawed probably vastly outnumber the 'perfect' specimens.
