My dad (who is very AS) gets annoyed when his eyelashes " click " against the inside of his glasses so he digs out my or my mom's embroidery scissors and cuts his eyelashes off. I don't mean just trims them, but cuts them entirely off!!! Then he takes the sewing scissors and trims his hair into a " style " that looks like Moe from the Three Stooges. Then he fixes all the holes in his clothing and shoes with silver duct tape ( " Why buy more clothes when these are perfectly fine? " ) One of his favorite pieces of clothing is a grey hooded sweatshirt that looks like the one the Unibomber wore (except my dad's has the sleeves re-attached with duct tape.) He doesn't shave, so he has three or four day's worth of salt-and-pepper beard with it all (but his hair on his head is pure jet black.) Then he takes an old doll carriage of my sister's to carry his groceries home in and sets off to the store, limping like Igor in a enstein movie because of an old injury. He comes home and asks us why people stared at him and acted funny around him. And my mom and I just look at each other and try not to laugh because even Aspie me knows that everyone looks at him and thinks he's a crazy street person! No one would realize that he has three university degrees! Sparrow, who loves her father but sometimes just has to laugh at how comical he looks!
