Awesome.
I used to "put on plays" when I was a kid, based on copying Star Trek characters, usually Tasha Yar. The quotes are because usually plays are usually performed in front of people, and I NEVER let anyone see my plays. I spent hours in the basement doing this. I was training myself, I understand now. I needed to understand how to be in the world. I was very depressed. There was no help for aspies in those days. I was in special ed, but all they did was drill spelling and cleaning my notebook. Putting myself in the metaphorical shoes of those characters saved my life. I love them like family.
Sometimes I did characters from Battlestar Galactica. (Old version) or Little House on the Prairie. I cut my hair like Tasha and favored a turtle neck that was same color as the goldenrod color of her uniform. I started "playing by the rules" in school as a tribute to her when the killed her off. When I got older, I broadened out to the other Star Treks, too. (And they say my interests are narrow. Ha!) There's a documentary on Star Trek fans where a woman, who would clearly get along at WrongPlanet just fine, decides to start wearing a Star Trek uniform in her daily life, including to work. She started as a Lieutenant, but gave herself a promotion to commander the last I heard. I'm a little jealous at her gumption.
Today, if I had a chance to "be" a character in real life, I would go with a Jedi Knight. I like the hood. But that's off topic.
Bless me! I must have been one adorable little social misfit. I wish someone had gotten that about me. But to me fair, I never let others see my rich inner world, so I can't really blame them for not noticing.
I know that lady! I think it was on some documentary I watched about Trekkers and Trekkies. I was sort of jealous of her in a good way. I wish I had that kind of nerve

Oh, I see you said yourself it was a documentary you saw it on. Probably the same one.
I am seeing a therapist and we do talk about it all. I am happy for the most part just acknowledging the traits and having better knowledge to deal with it. I also already have kids. My oldest has lots of traits herself and is currently being assessed. The sensory stuff is her biggest issue.

None of you understood my reply? Fair enough. I have a tendency to be all like, "And introducing..."
Anyway, this guy's been my consistent fashion muse as well.
Like me, he's outgoing, talkative, and expressive; headstrong, unique, determined, impulsive, and gets distracted sometimes.
What I admire about him is that he's not afraid of looking silly in public! So whenever I look a bit silly (I'm a little dyspraxic, too), I think of him and forgive myself.
I love this guy so much I even cosplayed him at a comic convention this March!
Thing is, there are no real female role models in Hollywood, at least, not with a body type like mine; short, athletic arms and legs, but a prominent middle. I have yet to find one, though. (Wallach, at least in his younger years, was five-foot-ten, but was dwarfed by Eastwood and Van Cleef).
So for the moment I am settling on this scruffy Mexican peon, and I've been very happy being a fangirl of him. He's provided me with so much inspiration that - and this is going to sound crazy- he understands me as much as I understand him.
Also, after the Dollars Trilogy, I'm not so scared of the animatronics in Pirates of the Caribbean anymore!
