So--spelling bee! Watched the Scripps contest last night, and of course because to this particular hammer everything looks like a spectrum nail, I thought the winner seemed fairly clearly Aspie. I was kind of amused/charmed by the way the announcer was trying to get a little "I'm going to Disneyworld!" out of the kid, who was not playing along and who maintained his general contempt for bees. Which begs the question why he's involved in them, unless it's what I've observed of the Aspie love of competition and prizes. Primera immediately sized him up as "a nerd," to my annoyance, even nicknaming him "O'Dorky." Irony much?

Addendum: apparently my friend David shares my fascination with bee season.
