I'm writing a paper for my Research Writing class. The general theme is "How-to" and my prof. loves it when we are creative. I decided to write mine about "How to have fun with Asperger's." Basically, I just want to look at the funnier side of Asperger's..so does anybody have any topics I should use?
Example topic: Simply pretend the people you don't like don't exist. Stare past them, never directly speak to them...etc. They'll get it...eventually.

I'm also drawing a blank. And I'm the annoying comic type here.

I don't find it too particularly funny when I keep getting fired from jobs for miscommunication, stupid disagreements or other people turning in false reports about me because they don't like working with me. Funniest thing I do is blab about parakeets-and that drives my own family crazy!

That's kind of what I almost posted. In a room you find ten aspies talking. Everyone is having ten different conversations.
Like NT's we all have different interests.

You said you were a medic once, right? And they switched you to something else? Or was that just part of the game thread? I tried to join the Army, but they said ADHD even would disqualify me.

I was an army field medic then changed jobs to broadcast specialist. That was back in the early 80's. AS hadn't been rediscovered until a few years later.

Did they REALLY have to rediscover it?

Maybe rediscover is the wrong term. But from what I read/learned. AS wasn't recognized until the early 90's. But I also remember reading something about AS being proposed much earlier but rejected by the psychological community.
