Pippi Longstocking (btw an old childhood obsession of mine).
! !! ! AHHHH! That makes so much sense now that I think about it! She's "precocious" "quirky" and any other adjective people used to describe her they could have just said...
No. She has AS.
I also really loved Pippi.
what other traits apart from "quirky" did she have?
none.
Oh yes, I think so:
- She often understood things very literally.
- She didn't care about if her clothes were "socially acceptable".
- She wasn't great at understanding social cues (and indeed she didn't act like she did in order to be rude, because she'd often regret afterwards).
- She was kind of a loner, living together with two animals (no cats though - and she did have 2 very good friends).
- She disliked authorities.
- She had her own kind of logic and tended to think out of the box (all the time, actually).
- (She chews her hair, a kind of stim, but an NT could do that too, of course)
- She does everything her own way (even if others / NTs may think it's more troublesome).
- She sleeps with her head under her blanket and the feet on her pillow (do we see a sensory issue thing here?? - some aspies like to have something over their head eg. while sleeping, I myself can't sleep without the head under the quilt, but I do have the head on my pillow).
There might be more things.
