155. I sympathise! Torchwood fandom can be fucking crazy. I had to stop reading fic because it was making me hate my favourite pairing -_- But can't you just... say... watch the show, and ignore the fandom? I still love the show. I still love Jack/Ianto in the show. I just... refuse to get involved in fandom. (I'm still in Doctor Who fandom, but I've been in it long enough to avoid the crazy ^_~)
172. On behalf of everyone who actually has Aspergers and who isn't using it to act like a twat, sorry >.< The vast majority of people who actually have Aspergers try not to use it as an excuse. Explanation, sometimes, but never an excuse.
Having said that, fandom is pretty much perfectly suited for Aspies - it requires narrow focus, it's tolerant of odd 'quirks', and it's largely net-based, which cuts out face-to-face communication and eliminates the misunderstandings you get from not being able to interperate body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. The one con I've been to (a Doctor Who con in LA this February) was an interesting experience, as I would say that a LOT of people attending (who are, after all, all obsessed Doctor Who fans!) would fit the diagnostic requirements for Aspergers. So it wouldn't surprise me to get a larger-than-usual amount of Aspies in one place.
I'm sorry that your experiences have led you to believe that everyone with Aspergers is a) a liar, b) a dickhead or c) both, but believe me, we're not all like that.

THIS. THIS THIS THIS.
Re: 150, 155, 172
More like everyone who claims it, and expects you to just accept their shitty behavior.
Not folks who really have it, know it, and work on it.
Re: 172
THIS, OH SO MUCH.
Re: 172
THIS!! And I think your following explaination should also go for anyone on "The Spectrum." I'm fairly certain that about half the people at most cons I've been to have some sort of attention problem, somewhere along the lines of ADD/ADHD or Autism.
