Like a lot of people with autism, Jeff Hudale has a brain that’s really good at some things. <\/p>\n
“I have an unusual aptitude for numbers, namely math computations,” he says. <\/p>\n
Hudale can do triple-digit multiplication in his head. That sort of ability helped him get a degree in engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. But he says his brain struggles with other subjects like literature and philosophy. <\/p>\n
“I like working with things that are rather concrete and structured,” he says. “Yeah, I like things with some logic and some rules to it.” <\/p>\n
So Hudale, who is 40, does fine at his job at a bank. But he doesn’t do so well with social interactions, where logic and rules aren’t so obvious. <\/p>\n
“Most people my age are nowadays married,” he says. “But me, not only am I totally single, I’ve never even had a date.” <\/p>\n
What Hudale has done for the past 25 years is help scientists understand autism by letting them study his brain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
