24 July 2009, I located the LAST tweaker of the document, JG, He is happy that it is free for all. There may be a earlier tweaker, if so, it won't make any difference. (The Whole Wide World (WWW) is really a small world in the end)
21 July 2009, After Mr Detective John Carter of Mars suggested the origin of the document (refer comments below) I emailed Ms Lisa Jo Rudy, enquiring whether she was the original creator of this document, and if so, could I make it free for all, in the public domain. Her reply was,
I wrote “Autistic Traits: A Plus for Many Careers” --- http://autism.about.com/od/transitioncollegejobs/p/autismskills.htm --- and I wrote “Top Terrific Traits of Autistic People” --- http://autism.about.com/od/inspirationideas/tp/besttraits.htm ---
Looking at the list on the site you reference, what I THINK happened is that someone took my Top Terrific Traits article and tweaked it a bit to fit AS (Aspies) specifically. Which is fine to do! So... no problem either way!
Cheers, Lisa Jo Rudy

Accordingly I am now removing all licensing restrictions I placed on the document now I know where it originated. And I am pleased to finally know where the 10 positives began life, I suggest that people downloading the document, make people aware of Lisa Jo Rudy, -- Guide to Autism, -- autism.about.com.--
The document is best printed out onto A4 paper then enlarged onto A3 with a photocopier.
The following is now redundant, but not removed, as this is a archive.
Free to distribute, providing there is no charge for copies, no profits taken, no modifications or anybody making out it is their own work, AND providing this notice accompanies all copies, and copies of copies. It is not my original work either.
