A forum dedicated to an actress/tv show for teenagers is bound to generate an Aspy congregation. Aspies are High Functioning Autistic people.
Since many of us keep quiet about it I thought it time for us to 'come out of the metaphorical closet' hence 'The aspy closet'
You can find out more about Aspergers Syndrome here but the main characteristics are:
Obsessions with certain things, the weather, numbers, certain television shows... often cartoons or manga
Specialist subjects like maths, english, computer, drama or science
A raised IQ (Yep, we're smartypants =))
More common in boys than girls, girls find it harder to cope, and are more noticeable as the tendancies are mostly male
Have difficulties socializing in the 'real world' so spend a lot of time online or reading
Have problems understanding emotions or reading facial expressions
Some don't like to be touched
If you know you are an Aspy, and have been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, contact me or Rob and we'll discuss admission. If Rob or I suspect you are an Aspy, with or without a diagnosis, we may extend an invite, (discussing it with one another first). We have the right to refuse entry to anyone we distrust or simply don't want in the closet
The closet members list so far is three:
Kitten (founder)
Rob (cofounder)
Legion
There are at least 5 other people on the forum suspected, and I'm sure a few of us lurk. Don't be shy. Come out of the closet!
Famous Historical Aspies include: Albert Einstein, Vincent Van Gough, Thomas Eddison...... and I think Hitler was one too. But that's just me.
