Nah, Patrick is high functioning. Sure, he might have the common sense of a starfish, but he's living by himself.

Aspie detail obsession!! Aspie detail obsession!!

SpongeBob is not a sea sponge, you philestine!! ! Sea sponges are neither yellow, nor are they perfectly rectangular.

SpongeBob's parents might be sea sponges, but SpongeBob is a synthetic, petrochemical- or cellulose-based kitchen sponge, like those frequently sold under the brand name CellO.

If SpongeBob is in the ocean, it's only because he fell off of a garbage barge.

Your Mom probably uses SpongeBob to clean out the bathtub. :lol: :D 8O :twisted: :roll: :wink: :P

oh god no.

If anything SpongeBob is a neurotypical of the worst sort. Loves the company of others, slavishly devoted to his boss and menial job and possesses a wide range of asinine interests.

Arent some natural sponges diced up into rectangles for home use?
Maybe not.
Never thought of that before- he is a sponge that lives in the sea-but is he an actual natural marine sponge? Or is he a synthetic sponge that ended up in the sea as flotsam and jetsam?

If the latter-then he must have been adopted by his parents , and not their biological son.

He is definitely a sea sponge, as stated by the creator of the show. The fact that he's square is supposed to represent his square personality and the fact that he's kind of a freak of nature.

So he might well be the sheldon leonard of sea sponges.

He's a misanthrope. I have thought about SpongBob being autistic before
