If you remember, I wrote an Asperger story called
"Beethoven and the Pirate", part romance, part suspense
about an Aspie boy who meets an Aspie girl in high school.
They become friends and eventually beome BF/GF.

I rewrote it to a college setting, so the title has no merit.

Please post any idea{s} that come into your head and I thank you in advance.

Nope. I wasn't around back then. Do you have a link for it?

it sounds like something I have heard before, about a Aspie man meeting an Aspie woman and they had Aspie relationship issues. . .and wasn't that title something to do with a classical composer and a large sea mammal?

I'm not understanding how upping the setting a few years makes your title no good.

First, I wrote the story in the summer of 2006 as a radio show script
after renting M&TW. I called my story B&TP as a "tipping the hat"
towards M&TW, but my story is 100% fictitious.

However, my protagonist Jonah learns his new friend Alice
is living in an abusive household. He takes it upon himself
to attempt to save her. This did not happen in M&TW.

Also, the new draft takes place at a community college, not a regular college.

You ask why is the title no good? Let me get back to you on that one.
