Oh, how interesting! I have two adored friends who are Aspies, and several of the characters you pictured, I totally would have identified that way.
One of these friends I traveled with for two weeks in 2008, and there were times I wanted to shout-"I don't care if I'm technically WRONG, I am trying to be AMUSING' but mostly we had a fabulous time. She is one of my co-writers at Burrowers Books and Balderdash--I wonder if you could identify her.
Are you an Aspie, or just have an interest?
i like this post. i think my daughter is an aspie & it's always nice to see others who've made it & been sucessful.
Yes, I'm an Aspie :-)
It's in many ways easier for Aspies to "be successful", than Addies (my husband has ADHD), but in other ways... Just what Hart says, it can be very difficult to understand that others are "just joking", practically impossible not to take things "too seriously", and the need of getting things explained "exactly" and "correctly"... My husband calls me a dwarf, because in Terry Pratchett's Discworld Dwarves are all Aspies :-D
It can also be difficult for people to realize that we do have feelings and sense of humor...
I'm sorry, Hart, but I haven't been at Burrows lately, so I couldn't even try to guess :-D But I'm sure my hubby understands totally what you went through :-D Sometimes hair-pullingly irritating and frustrating, but wonderful anyway :-D
