There are not that many other Joesten's in the country, there is Melvin (you will find his name on lots of chemistry papers),
There is a John Joesten (not sure of the names of his siblings) who had a son named Leonard, who had a son named Raymond (you find his name in many geology papers) with Abbie Maybee (decended from the original owners of the 'maybee tavern' in NY where Benedict Arnold's co conspirator Was hung in what we would now call the parking lot)
Ray had two sons
Peter, and Robert
So hey, Im Rob
My real interest is how far back Asperger's runs in the family. my niece, used to refer to herself in the second or third person. her dad was the shyest person you would ever meet, and his wife used to flap her hands when she was happy/exited.
I have been formally diagnosed with aspergers.
My father (Ray) and his brother (G) and likely his sister(B) all present symptoms far more than I do/have (dad was obsessed with how the physical earth worked, now prof emeritus, in geology/chemistry, went to caltec, and had not heRd Jimmy Hendrix untill the mid 80's when my brother and i started listening, inspite of living in the bay area throughout the 60s, his brothef eas the marina county health inspector, who woulduse his vacations to see specific trains, and has built more miles of track than Delaware has roads.
Grandpa (leonard Joesten) collected stamps based on their postmarks (eg a postmark from the city of somenes birth from the same date was cherished above any upside down airplanes, he started 2 title companies)
One of his brothers sons son could fix any broken radio or electric/ electronic device (at that time radios were about all that had transisters, and these were only the newest models ) though he couldnt graduate from the 8th grade.

Myself, I am a highschool dropout, who earned thier BA with cum laude honors, and work as a support staff (various titles from employment specialist to house manager) for adults on the spectrum.
