What would an Aspie role model be like for you?

Post Reply New Topic

I think for me, being one of those folks with aspie and NT traits, I would look for a role model who's in that same space as me. Not necessarily an aspie. But certainly someone with enough of those traits, and the right ones, that I an identify with them.

One person's been a role model for me in dealing with emotional stuff. Someone who deals with emotional stuff easily wouldn't be a role model. I think he's a role model because he's had to learn, and because he's verbal about that stuff. (He's a musician, so gets to share stuff about himself when he wants to.) Like me enough to be an example of what I can be.

My aspie role model is Delmar Williams, because he proved to the world that aspies can be cool:

Delmar ftw

it would be like a model of a role. not a real role but just a model of one.
a role is like a script, and "model" means it is not real, so a role model is like a fake script to follow.
