Over one hundred sufferers of asperger’s syndrome accidentally congregated outside the annual Asperger’s syndrome convention in Beverly, East Yorkshire this week, before deciding they just couldn’t bring themselves to actually enter, in an occurrence which has been described as ‘becoming something of a yearly ritual’.
Whilst no near-attendees were willing to talk to our reporter, several of their parents delicately explained that they had in fact enjoyed themselves, they can just have a hard time showing it sometimes
Asperger's Syndrome, a minor form of autism, has become a hot talking point recently with the general public, and has proved indispensable in the project of diagnosing absolutely all individual differences so we can finally discover which single member of the society is officially the normal one. Asperger's official diagnosis falls into two broad categories, comprising 'anyone with slightly poorer social skills than you' and 'anyone with far, far more talent than you'. Famous sufferers of Asperger's included any clever person in a film, anyone comfortable in their own company, and anyone who can honestly claim to have read more than eight books in their life.
The convention was held at Beverly’s Piger Iocus Hall, which has gained a reputation as among Britain’s most popular convention venues in recent years, with both successes and failures to its name. Among recent successes were a long running Genre convention, which attendees described as 'still deeply satisfying', and a Metaphysical convention deemed 'out of this world'. Last month’s Schizophrenia convention was attended by just one man, yet was acclaimed a success by all of them. However, a Hermit convention planned for January has been sadly cancelled due to a lack of interest.
