Imagine if there was a Big Brother-like program, but everyone has AS! That would be interesting to see the analytical views.

I would not agree to participate in anything like that. I think reality shows are based on sheer competition. It's sort of the kinds of shows that jocks like. They're so full of bullying and nonsense, all done for some sort of financial reward.

I can see your point, but in this case I'm not sure if there would be "bullying and nonsense" in any great amounts. I mean if everyone in the house has AS I could understand if there was bullying, but I couldn't see there being too much nonsence (although that's just my view :roll:

)

I'd love to do something like that. I'm not too sure on the Reality Show part, but I'd love to try living with a bunch of other Aspies

This is perhaps a reflection of my dry humor, but I will note the following reality shows as somewhat Aspie Reality Shows:

The MacLaughlin Hour

The MacNeil News Hour

Cosmos (Carl Sagan's phenomenal show from the 1980s)

and.... Jeopardy!

You might get some house members griping about sensory issues like loud music or obnoxious decor.

A reality show of people with AS...

A big house...

everyone in their own room...

on their own computer, the sound of keyboards 24/7...

people WANTING to get voted out so that they can leave for their familar place of origin...

sounds like a mainstream hit, absolutely! :lol:

Unless they were there long enough to get use to it, then they would be greattly annoyed if they had to leave.

I've never known an Aspie to bully another Aspie. If that happens, it's just sick!

I, personally, would love to be on that show. Except being in reality TV interferes with an acting career. :cry:

I'm not so sure the public is ready to see Werbert arguing with himself on TV.

Well, that Who Wants to be a Superhero? show had a lot of Aspergian contestants, if that counts.

Personally, I think it would be fun to have a "Big Brother" show for Aspies.

Instead of bullying each other (I doubt that would happen), I'd probably make an alliance who could help me find and disconnect all the cameras. Make a military-style game of it to see which ones we could disconnect (or cover the lenses) without being seen. *ROFL*
