Spare a thought....I wasn't always like this!

[Tom/Mutate]

I used to be a confident, socially successfull NT and the life and soul of the party.  I had a basket of condoms by my bed (frequently used) and a shelf of football trophies.  Then I got a fever one day from too much partying and put an old themometor in my mouth to take my heat.  I slipped on a condom and bit down on it by mistake, and the mercury went down my throat.   Now the condom basket has been replaced by a little doll of Mr Spock, and the trophies replaced by a collection of star trek videos.
I am what you see before you today - pure aspie.

we'll have to strap you down and chelate you.

What a touching story... 

[Calandale]

Well, at least you got better.
Though apparantly not much
brighter, whomever you were.

But surely aspergers is something you are born with?

Unless this is a joke, of course. I don't really get jokes, so do excuse me!

It's okay -- Tom's video really didn't catch on either.

Why? There's clearly some sort of
inheritence (though I'm not certain
it's purely genetic), but why couldn't
other factors effect it? I know that
my parents had a fridge.

The refridgerator mom theory -- your fridge is your mother! 

[Calandale]

That means I had incest!

[willow]

That means I had incest!

you are incest.

[Calandale]

you are incest.

You should see me with a mirror.

Ah.  Aspie literalism at work.  "refrigerator mother" is a metaphor you see.  It means your mom was a cold fish.

I thought it meant that she used a fridge.

[odeon]

Took me ages to figure that one out, actually. I kept thinking at the magnets you stick to refrigerator doors.
