Yesterday there was what I found to be a very funny bit about AS on Kevin & Bean [KROQ, Los Angeles]. I have long considered Bean to be "one of us" [he broadcasts from an ISLAND off Seattle! He's got about 15 well-documented perseverations! The list goes on!] but Bean, when the topic is broached, usually demurs.

So yesterday they did an online AS self-test with him, and I found the whole bit to be very funny. Of course, people who find their (or their relatives') AS to be taboo or off-limits or shameful won't like this at all (and they should work on that attitude). Those of us who are AS-and-Proud, who find humour in our quirks and deficits and take life in stride (more or less, unless we're having to deal with say, a schedule change!) will probably have a good laugh.
