Nu förstår jag varför jag tycker om att se på och känner igen.mig i de karaktärer som pippi . Faulty towers . Och Mr bean . Jag har nyss fått aspergers diagnos. Jag är 30 år. Tycker att de är grymma karaktärer. :-D:-D :-D

Unknown sa...

Javisst är de underbara. Jag älskar alla olika slags människor. Min äldsta son har Aspergers/ADD och han är helt ljuvlig.

En ny karaktär som får min oreserverade kärlek är Sheldon Cooper i Big Bang Theory.

Visst är det härligt att alla människor är olika och därför alldeles underbara?!
