The Geico "Caveman" commercials to me are a perfect allegory cum metaphor for being aspie. The existential issues of being an outsider and anomaly are gut-wrenching. The constant reminders that you are inferior speak to my experience. Discuss.

when i was younger and more full of piss and vinegar, i felt as irritable and angst-ridden as the geico caveman, about my personal efficacy versus the world. now i am just too tired to be anything but a hermit.
