Hey there sinsboldly (or "sinsobadly")!
I'm sorry I didn't see this post and I opened one for Amazing Race!
Like I said in the other post, I just didn't like the part where the other contestants made it seem like Zev was some sort of sad case when he gave away his jacket, like any decent human being would do. (and again, I write, I may be overthinking that).
By "token" Aspie, do you mean they've had others on the show (I can't remember any) or do you mean they really didn't need to mention that he's an Aspie? That's my opinion, anyway, they didn't need to say that. But then they do like to point out "vegetarians" or "gay" on the show don't they?

sinsboldly is from a quote from Martin Luther, but I thought it meant I was like a bull in a chinashop, completely clueless I was sinning.
anyway, "America's Next Top Model" had a token Aspie, and she was marvelous!! I we are the new flavor, I suppose.
