I read the webcomic xkcd, and just read the latest update. I thought it a brilliant depiction of what happens to me, and I assume what happens to others with AS

If you have any qualms about swear words, don't follow the link (the image) and read the others. Some more mature themes are occasionally explored and the site has the odd swear word in it.

I can relate because I zone out into lalaland, but I don't shut down.

I can relate, friends try to avoid using numbers with me, I tend to do something with them. I also do it a lot with certain words I've been thinking a lot about, like today my RE teacher mentioned 'perfection' and I didn't listen to a word from there on 'cause I was too busy thinking about whether or not there was different levels of perfection which just got me thinking about a book I was reading...

Ha ha! I love that! It's exactly like me in a situation like that, only I'm not thinking about math. I love the last panel, especially!
