I miss the old “Snide Remarks” that were just humorous and didn’t require a whole lot of thought. They did produce a lot of laughter, too.

That wiki page sources one Simon Baron-Cohen. I clicked on the name, and lo:

“Simon Baron-Cohen is a first cousin of Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor and comedian. His grandfather’s brother was Robert Greenblatt, professor of endocrinology at the Medical College of Georgia, whose research led to the development of the oral contraceptive pill.” [5]

Small world, I guess.

I had a kid with AS in my class. They left out that some people with AS hate to be touched. Whenever AS kid was touched by another student, he had to wash and change his clothes.

It still sounds like you’re recording on a cheap microphone, but at least you’ve cut down on the unnecessary noise.

I work in a group home with a couple of girls with Asperger’s syndrome and they vary quite a bit in presentation, but one of my girls acts quite a bit like Chloe. Especially the weird eye contact she does all the time, it reminds me of her every time I watch 24.

The podcast isn’t working for me. I’m getting a “404 not found” when I click on the link.

I once considered being a peer mentor to a group of teens with Asperger’s. Other commitments intervened, however, and I didn’t make it past one meeting.
