| I think Gabrielle on Shortland Street was good. The person who played her actually spoken to people with Asperger's so she knew how to portray her. Too bad she is no longer on the show. |

Does anyone use Flipnote Studio? It is where you can make notes and those flipbook style animations on the Nintendo DSi and post them on Flipnote Hatena.
