I saw a guy standing behind a tree, out of sight of his group.
I called over:
"Hey, what're you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Hiding?"
"I guess so."
"Don't like crowds?"
"No."
"Do you have Asperger's Syndrome?"
He looked astonished.
"How did you know?"
"Because I'm like that, and I have Asperger's Syndrome.
Really! That was just a crazy shot in the dark."
"I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to be truthful, because I'm genuinely curious:
Do you like videogames?"
"Yes."
"I have a theory, that there isn't anyone with Asperger's Syndrome who doesn't like videogames."
"It's a solitary thing, and it's a way to vent frustration. That's probably why."
"So what's your thing?"
He thought about it.
"You know what I mean."
"Yeah, I do.
..Violence."
"Goodbye."
