Jack Hanke, 18, arrived at rehearsal wearing a giant
sombrero and green kimono. Noah Britton, 29, took off his pants mid-practice,
explaining that they still stank from last night's concert. He ran through the
rest of his comedy troupe's practice wearing boxers, and the group's signature
T-shirt, which reads: "I don't want your pity."
Britton, Hanke and the other two members of Asperger's Are Us don't care who
thinks they're weird. Or even funny. They think they're hilarious. And if others
don't, who's the one with the disability?
Hey, it's Autism Awareness Month- which is appropriate as a birth month for someone like me and my cyclothymia and OCD tendencies. God bless these kids.
And . . . don't be ashamed of having a disorder. If it results in inappropriate behavior then yes, you have to work to refocus on better conduct. But having a condition like this is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, there can be strengths to be garnered from this, such as these boys are doing. Bill Gates is said to have Aspergers and I think he's done fairly well for himself, eh?
