Big Bang Theory: I remain steadfast in my belief that Mayim Bialik is the best damn thing to happen to this show in a LONG time.
Seconded! She needs an Emmy!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Part of me wants the show to take a stand and definitively make Sheldon asexual, because TV needs more asexual characters. But on the other hand, he would be a sterotype that Aces don't necessarily want (NT geek). But on the other OTHER hand, he's awesome, and would therefore be a good representation of asexuality (but then, that's my opinion, since I'm also an NT geek, and not the best person to decide who's a good representative of asexuality).
But on the other other OTHER hand (I have many hands; I am a Stephalopod), now I TOTALLY want Sheldon and Amy to get smoochy for reals.

You know, I totally meant to type NON-NT. Geez. Anyway, NT is "neurotypical" (a term coined by people in the autism community to refer to people who aren't on the autism spectrum; I've seen it used a lot, though, used by people with AD/HD to refer to people without AD/HD).
Anyway, I meant to refer to Sheldon as non-NT. Although the show has deliberately avoided saying that Sheldon has Asperger's, he certainly displays a lot of those traits.
And geek because, well, he's a geek.

Well, I read a Yahoo group for spouses/partners/etc. of people with AD/HD, and that's where I first encountered the term. I'm not sure how widely known/used it really is.

I'm familiar with it but I wouldn't call it common parlance.

I've mostly seen it in discussions of autism and Aspergers.

I've mostly seen it in discussions of autism and Aspergers.
And that's probably where it's most commonly used; I'm just more familiar with the AD/HD community.
