  • most people relate to the strips. that's why it was so popular
  • I am pretty sure that I don't have AS, yet I relate to the strip as well. I think that's why it was so popular.
  • Agreed. That would be that because people with AS have large vocabulary but are clumsy with social skills. Calvin may be like that since I can relate to the strips even though I don't have AS.
  • Typically those with Aspergers are concrete thinkers, pretty sharp at specific subjects, and socially awkward. Although Calvin clearly was a loner and perseverated over specific topics like dinosaurs he doesn't have Aspergers. The entire comic was about how incredibly imaginative he was. Distorting reality so abstractly and creating new worlds (Miss Wormwood was always turning into a space mutant, Calvin would take on tons of alter egos). Like I said, those with AS are absolute concrete thinkers--not Calvin.
