OK - so I'm not as huge a fan now, but when I was little I thought MacGuyver was really the coolest guy around!  I mean, look at all the awesome things he creates out of nothing!

Ok - so he's meant to have OCD, but plenty of people think Adrian Monk meets the diagnostic criteria for Asperger's.

I have to agree.

My Dad nicknamed me PatchMonk because I'm obsessed with Patch Adams (and his way of practising medicine) and am also very much like Adrian Monk.  Dad calls me just "Monk" when I get obsessed with straightening things out, organising them and colour coding etc.  I've been doing these things since I was about 2 years old. 

When I lived in college, first year of uni, the boys would all come in a push everything out of straight lines and them time how long before I straightened them all up again.

I LOVE watching Monk.  I can relate soooooo much to so many things he does. 

My NT friends say they find watching it almost painful because he does so many things I do around them.

Has anyone watched a TV show called the Big Bang Theory? Awesome sitcom. Sheldon Cooper is a stereotypical Aspie, even though he is never actually referred to as Autistic, Aspie, etc. He can't read facial cues or sarcasm, is very particular about any changes in his daily routine, is inflexible and feels a need to be in control all the time, knows facts about everything, doesn't show much emotion, doesn't touch people, uses computers and tech all the time, and has tried to invent a scientific formula for how to make friends. He has a roommate and some other friends, and they all work together as scientists at a university in southern Cal. I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and season 3 is on TV now (CBS in the USA). They are all considered "nerds" or "geeks" but Sheldon is the Aspiest of all of them!

Many spectrumites I know love this show!!!
