What you need is a character that celebrates our aspie weirdness...i dunno...like maybe an angry stalk of celery that speaks exclusively in Polish. Mr. Celery could not be an integral part of the plot, as most people would just skip over the Polish dialogue...but I think aspies ( or at least aspies like me) would probably find ways (like online) to translate it. Maybe all of his dialogue could really be aspie type jokes.

OK. I have a negative view of the world and don't enjoy most people around me. I have an ego, and if the conversation doesn't pertain to me I'll try to change it to something I like/understand. I'm Christian, though a few of my beliefs stray from the mainstream ones(very obcure, still not sure about a few). Umm... I have very few people I consider friends, yet most people don't mind my presense. I jsut don't like those people's presense. I generally prefer to befriend odd people like myself. Most of them are almost my opposite. Loud, happy, and thoughtful people. I'm quiet (usually), in a constant mild depression, and honestly don't care about most people. AS, OCD, ADD, Hypersensitivity. If I'm not at school ,I'm probably a thome on my computer listening to music and surfing the internet. Also known for making bad puns and saying thing that just seem to annoy certain friends for no apparent reason. My seemingly un-intelluctual personality can be very amusing at times.




Interests are mostly music and computers. Although I know much more about music than computers. My knowledge of computers is very amateurish, I'm just starting to look into understanding all the numbers, terms, etc. I've describred my music taste somewhere on this sight in more detail. I like comedy sites.


Singing. Inqusitive at times (normally only here). Can NOT feel insulted. Anything meant to insult me is meaningless to me. Good with electronics. I'm nice.


Homework. I see homework as the most useles thing out thre. I think it should be reserved for people who actually need to practise something. I'm the kind of person who aces tests but doesn't do any homework. I'm above homework. If a chore seems unlogical, I also don't do it. My logic tends to make me seem lazier than I really am. I have AS (duh). I tend to get ignored in many conversations and never know why. I suck at Geometry. I have little motivation to ever do anything.


It sounds good!

What about stimming? I used to "foot flap" and it annoyed people if there was music playing, as I was never in time with it. A punk band, thats an inspired choice. All the little quirks can be represented, the distance/dislocation from companyThe only problem with this is that oddness would be expected from a punk. All the explanation and motivation will be in the narrative rather than dialogue if you aren't careful, and it can be a bit wearing if badly constructed. I envy you, what a playground. Imagination for social situations is sadly lacking here, but I love reading about it.

Use a lot of imagery to make the world seem like a cold, dark place. Just use the movie The Shining, They, or Dark Water for ideas.
