The parable of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer shares striking similarities with the Asperger condition. Think of the parallels...never being asked to join in any reindeer games (perhaps due to perseverances about one's own "games"). Dang bully reindeer, laughing and calling Rudy names. Good grief, this is soooo familiar to Aspiedom!

Then that wise old elf notices Rudolphs unique gift. The illumination, that in spite of not being like all the rest, his special talent shines the best

Merry Christmas, my Aspie friends! This time of year presents unique challenges to us all, and in it, may you also find new ways to open the gifts of our condition.

Interesting. That's exactly what I was thinking when I watched it on TV a few days ago! No wonder I like watching it!

You and me both! I still watch it faithfully every year and know all of the songs by heart. :)

Yeah, him and Dumbo. By the end of each story they find out that they are useful for society too.
