I can sympathize with this whale

I think this is the closest we'll come to finding an aspie whale:

52 Hertz: The Loneliest Whale in the World

Wow, amazing analogy to living with AS, and the last 2 lines are so fitting for us!!

Interesting.

And a bit poignant.

Humpacks migrate between alaska and Hawaii.

Gray Wales migrate between Alaska and Baja California

He tends to move in routes halfway between the gray whale routes and the humpback routes-north-south from Alaska down to an empty part of the pacific about halfway between hawaii and Baja. Maybe he is a hybrid gray and humpback who has a hybrid migration instinct.

Anyway- it would make a great Animal Planet reality TV project. Get a film crew and some whale enthusiasts with sound detection equipment on a boat and have them triangulate on 52Hertz and try to take his portrait- and see what species of whale he is.

This is interesting. I wonder if we will ever find another whale like it.

wow....I sympathize (or maybe empathize) with this whale too.

Just googled it.

According wiki the Woods Hole NOAA discoverers of the whale got deluged with mail from deaf people suggesting that the whale was deaf.

Thats also a possibility. He has the instinct to sing a whale song but he cant hear what he sounds like nor how his community of whales sounds.

That's interesting. Maybe some scientists can try to play recordings of other whales to see if he responds.

That.

Or see how he responds to ANY sound. Give him a hearing test. Course I dont know what the standard hearing test for large aquatic mammals is ( for human infants they bangs symbols to see if the baby acts startled- dont know how a whale would act if you startled it).

well, f**k me that sounds just like my story. I've also been pretty much alone since the 1990s....
