I stumbled onto this "treatise" on AS written by Bradford Hatcher:
Coming to Terms with Asperger's Syndrome

Bae worked part-time on an assembly line in a tool factory when, at the age of seventeen, he ran a marathon in Chuncheon, Korea, in 2 hours 57 minutes. While not anywhere near elite runner times, which are unde... |

A character maybe written in such a way that he conveys both sociopathic and AS traits just to keep him interesting. And even if a... |

| Another of my favourites is Chocolate.. The girl is Autistic not really Aspergers but I like martial Arts movies. Using autism as a reason a person can excel at martial arts is more entertaining than realistic but I like it. Awesome. A friend of mine told me about this as well but I had forgotten t... |
