Do you get a break from the girl you're wooing...

Well, one time someone actually mentioned Asperger's Syndrome... it came up in a conversation, and I said (with a smile) "hey, that's what I have." They looked at me like I'd made a mildly tasteless joke, and then kept on talking as if I hadn't said anything.

Weird.

But what I meant was kind of like that. If it comes up or something, say "hey, I'm one'a dem, ak'shully!"

I get that a lot thought. No matter what I say.

gwenevyn, i think we share our taste in men.

hm, would you have given her a break if it was she who had asperger, or say another thing, because we're all familiar with asperger...?

HAHA

That's exactly what I would do. And I'd probably get the same reaction.

In fact, I think I DID do that once. Something similar, actually. Someone had a negative painting, like an eye puzzle, you know? To most people it looks like a splotch but if you look at the white space it has a picture. And I saw the picture. And he said, "yeah my mom (who is a teacher's assistant) took it to work and only the autistic kids could see it." and I said, "Yeah, must be the Asperger's Syndrome in me." and everyone kind of blinked and changed the subject. I'm not sure if they realized I was serious, or if they didn't know what AS is, or WHAT they thought. Anyway... people usually ignore me when I say things like that. I think it makes them uncomfortable.... maybe....

might have made me try a little harder in any one of my past relationships......

whether or not that would have been a good thing--is another story.

Maybe it was "Benny and Joon" I was thinking of? With Johnny Depp?

Hey, what about Gabriel Garcia-Bernal in "The Science of Sleep"?

I mean, certain chicks really go for that sort of thing, don't they?
