I AM ASPIE
"My name is Jedi-J. I am an Obi-Wan costumer living in Southern New Jesey. I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies. I will be at the South end of my street everyday at mid-day, when the sun is highest in the sky. If you are out there... if anyone is out there... I can provide knowledge, I can provide costumes, I can provide friendship. If there's anybody out there... anybody... please. You are not alone."
In real life there's not much to tell. I'm an Aspie (short for Asperger Syndrome). Please take a moment and read the following from the ASPEN (Asperger Syndrome Education Network) website:
