I saw this documentary some days ago about middle-eastern youths growing up in Sweden and forming their own big hip-hop sub-culture with political viewpoints.
I wonder if an aspie sub-culture could have something pick up.
A sequence in the documentary the "main character" girl is supposed to explain hip-hop to some older swedes and she says the dance is supposed to express what they feel. One woman points out that the dance seem to express aggression and rage. The girl didn't have a good response there and then but I can imagine that the dance is a good way to let out frustration.
How does aspie youths let out frustration? OK, we do have; addictive gaming, pyromania and cutting ourself... stimming helps too. But what about something more cultural-like like hip-hop? Not necessarily hip-hop though, I don't know.
One thing that comes to mind is making something together over the net like... like...... 3D animation movies!
For 3D animation movies we could have use of at least, umm...
• A story
• Drawings and designs of things in the animation movie, comic strips is often made to give an idea of how the 3D movie should look like.
• Programming is often needed when making 3D
• Music and sound
I have no idea of how possible it is for aspie youths to make 3D animation movies, but the more possible the better, I'd say!
What to express?
I often get the impression that similar things are already done but I'm just "excluded".
Similar could be... Not four people who go together to make a 3D movie, rather network communities where people are allowed to read eachother's stories (which I definitely know already exists), artists who get fascinated by the written stories are allowed to compete for the best illustrations of characters, settings and music, that way they could possibly get fame and honour when marketting their own artwork. Ultimately a crew of people will come together and work on an animation of a nominated story.
Just an idea.

Darn, I'm so bored when writing this, dad has insisted that I should be at this cottage the rest of the summer. I have nothing to do, there's no internet connection. I'm writing this on a lap-top that he really wants to throw out the window because he wants me to "do something new", sadly there's nothing to do here. I envy you people who have the possibility to learn new things where you are now. OK, I have the thirty day trial of Visual Basic at this laptop to learn some programming, but dad has apparently misunderstood the concept of that it only lasts in thirty days because he doesn't let me use it when there's sun outside. That's even more stupid because I need to be inside when the sun burns. That's because I easily get overheated, becuase I still dress like it's winter, cuz I hate "feeling naked" with shorts and shirts - he doesn't respect that preference. When I do get the possibility to learn some programming I ofcourse play this shooter game to let out the frustration, which dad ofcourse interpret as something very very bad. I'm also constantly interrupted because he wants me to do these small jobs all the time, like pulling out nails from old planks so we can burn them. Some years ago dad and alot of other cottage owners at this island had a fight with beaurocrazies who said that the [don't have a dictionary] platform that we dock our boat too was too big. It was according to the beaurocrats too big and would make tourists walking along the wateredge think that the area near the platform was private grounds. So dad and alot of other cottage owners had to build their platforms all over again probably costing a great deal of money in total. We bought this cottage a couple of years ago from an old couple, later we have found many problems with the cottage. It e.g. has electrical systems that are actually illegal and caused a plastic switch to smelt and smell awful. One of the things dad is checking currently is whether or not the cottage has been build outside of legal zone.
Conclusion:
Dad is a bastard with many frustrations.
How was your summer?
