1) Who the hell calls themselves "Lights"?
2) She just looks like a normal "dumb girl" to me

Dunno. She sure is good at giving eye contact. I don't detect any aspie 'look'.

Doesn't mean that much though. I was watching with no sound, and not long.

Compare with Rob from Pendulum in this vid.

Lights does not seem Aspie to me. The second guy Rob seems more so (flat facial expression, bad eye contact, etc). He doesn't seem to have it bad, though.

I had a dog named Lights. She was a Chow-Chow. I called her Lights because her fur was a light blond color.

I don't think the woman interviewed on the video is an Aspie.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

"Since the mid 2000s she has lived in Toronto and had changed her legal name to Lights. When asked about changing her name, she said her former name was a chapter of her life that was over. It was a change for her that was very easy for her to go through, that it was almost natural. The changing of her name has great significance for her, from interviews that she's done."

That is why she called herself Lights.

How can you even tell? Sure there is an 'aspie' look but not everyone with AS will have it. I don't think I have a monotone. My behaviour is just very autistic. Rob could be or he could just be Australian. Or he could be an NT who seems a bit 'aspie.'

Anyway, this guy looks a little bit more aspie than both of them combined. What do you think?

She seems pretty normal to me, just overly talkative.

That cracks me up.

He reminds me a lot of a younger self, before I learned what body language was, and began to make some efforts to look people in the eye and animate myself a bit more. And he seems basically uncomfortable.

The guy from the vines, similar, but different. Fascinating for me to observe them. I don't meet many aspies in real life.
