TV character you or others think you are most like

Trainspotter

While watching The Big Bang theory, my wife said that I was like a cross between Sheldon (from that programme) and Uncle Bryn (from Gavin and Stacey)

She also said that I was like Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave and also a bit like Doc Martin.

So which characters from TV/films does anyone feel they share characteristics with?

Parents

  • Good point, Telstar, and isn't it interesting that the highest incidence of Aspies in a given profession is within medicine?

    Where would we be without doctors, sugeons, nurses, etc? 

    I'm wondering if Florence Nightingale was an Aspie because I believe she brought organisation to nursing, rather than ringing her hands and 'empathising' all the time with the poor wretches who suffered horrendous injuries. In other words, as you have mentioned, it if often better to do something practical to help people rather than simply feeling sorry for them (although I'm sure she did feel empathy for the sick). 

    This is where Aspies have their own way of empathising with others. They apply logic in order to solve problems, which can come over as callous, but it's not and is because Aspies are misunderstood.

    If I had a choice between 'Mr. Spock' or the Archbishop of Canterbury  treating me for some illness I think Mr. Spock would win hands down. (He was supposed to be half-human after all!)
