neanthumain, i'm offended by the labeling of your characters as "Aspie1," "Aspie2" etc. this system implies that "Aspie1" is somehow better than "Aspie2" and "Aspie3." i think that it would be much safer if all three of them were all simply called "Aspie." 
i am also offended by the exclusion of the british character from the romantic sub-plot of the dialogue.

All members of the community should be obliged to agree to and follow strictly these terms and be removed without ado for violating them:
- No avatars: The mood you're currently in, the interests you hold, or your conception of the aesthetic ideal might offend somebody.
- No emoticons, colored fonts, or graphics: Some people are hypersensitive to visual stimuli and may experience sensory overload.
- No opinions: The only opinions you can express are those accepted by the community, and our one uniting principle is that autism is a good thing and that neurodiversity should be encouraged.
- Don't discuss past mistreatment: Such discussions may cause more sensitive members to relive traumatic experiences. Also, it affirms an us-vs.-them mentality by conjuring negative stereotypes of a cold, uncaring NT-dominated society.
- Don't use negative adverbs or prefixes: Morphemes like not, un-, no, etc. can only lead to disagreement and the unacceptance of another person's point of view.
- Don't discuss different cultures: Other cultures have standards of acceptable behavior, customs, attitudes, and beliefs that may be quite different and often even wrong. For example, since it is already known that Jesus Christ is God, there is no need to bring Allah or the Buddha into conversation here.
- No politics: Some people think silly things about our leaders and how things should be run; they express their opinions that they obviously can't believe to be true because they're trolls who just want to offend people for their perverse sense of amusement. President George W. Bush is the new Christ, and we all know that.
- No debate on what constitutes family friendliness: If you don't know what family values are by the time you can use a computer, you need to go back to diapers.
- No questioning the moderators: The moderators are responsible for maintaining order and a presentation of this site as being a family-oriented site where no one is offended. This can't be done if their authority is questioned.
- No misspelling or misuse of punctuation: Some people are offended by a misplaced comma.
- No pity: People are offended if other people pity them because it makes them feel they are incapable.

But will you, as a psychotherapist, have the patience and understanding to deal with someone with Asperger's Syndrome???

Ah, see, I thought NeantHumain was being serious
I was going to respond indignantly saying I was offended by the remarks about Jesus Christ being God.
