I love 'American Dreams' - hot girls and an authentic early to mid-1960s feel.
Anyway, last night smart, slightly 'nerdy' Patti got on the 'American Bandstand' TV show where big sister Meg is a regular, one of the dancing kids. The director puts her on camera with Dick Clark to rate a song and she monologues in a monotone, like a little professor, about grammar! (The song was 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones.)
Sounded like textbook AS and something I might have done at that age about my special interest... as if the writers had read some of the textbooks or articles on it.
But I don't think Patti has AS - she hasn't got a special interest.
