Very well done explanation. Thanks for sharing. I relate to all those. I have face blindness. I am overwhelmed by sensory input. The more people somewhere the more painful it is for me. Instead of getting energized by social contact it exhausts me. My obsessions are history, science, and comparative mythology. My first ten years I was mainly into history (especially aviation history), and that interest has continued to the present day. The next twenty years I was mainly into science (and still history as well), and those have both continued to the present day, and the last twenty years I have been heavy into comparative mythology, but of course the history and science continue as well.

I hope you leave this post up. I am so glad you have published it as a book. I hope a big name publisher takes you on so it can get the distribution and publicity it deserves. It would be a great learning tool for anyone any age.

Just received my 5 copies of Dude, I'm an Aspie!. Thank you and woo hoo, can't wait to share it! Love it! :0)

PS I just realized, I would never say "woo hoo" in person yet feel inclined to do so on the internet. Silly observation.

Just read your cartoon explanation of asperger's. My response: Yay!! ! Double Yay!! ! Triple yay!! ! Wooo-Hooo!! ! I'm a very tickled Aspie right now. Thank you bunches and bunches and bunches!

Oh, and sorry about all the exclamations, I really couldn't help it. This was just way too grand not to go overboard with them.

That's so true
I do that and have never thought about it before

Greenturtle, I can't believe that this has been up for year and I only noticed your cartoons now. Whatever anyone else says, your cartoons do a good job of explaining AS. I wish you the best.

I can't say every single one applies to me but the ones that do are spot on. I'll be using this whenever I have to explain I have AS to someone. Thanks
