[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 336463, member: 1991"] Another thing to watch out for (TV-wise) is the British sitcom, "The IT Crowd". It's I.T., not "it". It's a half-hour sitcom series set in the IT department of a company. The two IT techs are fairly useless when it comes to people skills. They are both quite different though. One is simply socially inept probably due to being too focused on computers and gaming. The other is definitely Aspie. The third staffmember is their boss (technically) who is there as the human interface, the people skills person. Like a translator. The humour isn't always about the social skills issues of the Aspie/lite stuff, but there's enough of it there to really give you the giggles. difficult child 3 loves this, SIL1 introduced it to him. He doesn't get all the jokes, but he gets the Aspie behaviour and sees it better in himself as a result. He's corrupted his teachers with this one too - he plays it for them and they've now gone out and got the DVD. That's something to note - what are your son's friends like? Our kids tend to find other Aspies/autistics and bring them home to play. My older son's best friend in school was Aspie. Also best man at his wedding. That's another positive feature of these kids - they are very good friends, intensely loyal to those friends. If you have an Aspie husband/wife, they also will tend to be intensely loyal and not even LOOK at another person. Marg [/QUOTE]
