What person did you look up to, who made you happy? Any particular actor, character or musician?
The person that made me laugh, and who I could relate to was... Mr Bean. I'm sure you've all heard of him! Laugh all you want, but I find his life quite similar to my childhood. I spoke in funny noises, was very solitary and my social skills weren't great. I found his bizarre yet ingenious ideas quite similar to my own way of thinking. I think he desired to be accepted, particularly by competing and trying to impress people, but it somehow backfiring and him being alone again. I know he is just a fictional character, but sometimes he certainly seemed like he had SA, for example being too scared to tell a person that they had accidentally taken his credit card or that he wasn't actually a hairdresser.
Now that I've grown up, I have shed some of my Bean-like qualities. And no, I don't have a stuffed Teddy I talk to!
