Hmm... on the subject of finding Aspie aquaintances, this hunt has always been fun for me.
List of possible Aspergians:
Zack: Deviates from social norms (IE: Got himself a PURSE as a joke, wears Pink Floyd pajamas to gym class, tapes signs to his stomach), constant stimming (Mainly by finger drumming, but also by light leg swinging), odd sitting positions (I happen to sit in similar ways), quiet, often socially awkward, and obsesses over ... music?
Amy: Obsesses majorly over anime, has extremely vivid imagination, short attention span, energetic, acts stupid for the purpose of being funny, stims a lot, and daydreams.
Sabrina: Deathly sarcastic, slient, and obsesses over Naruto. She's not that Aspergian in my opinion actually.

This Anime and Manga stuff seem quite popular where you live. For me Anime and Mange are a whole new big world I want to shy away from, it seems too big and confusing for me.

One interesting way of organizing people into sub-groups is the term zoku, translatable as “family” or “tribe,” a tongue-in-cheek way of dividing the population up into quasi-anthropological categories. One of the most famous of these sub-groups are the otaku-zoku, the species of human that surrounds himself with manga, anime and pop culture from Japan — we don’t know anyone like that, do we?

I just found the above so amusing. It seems like lots of aspies ar also otakus.

I don't know I'm fairly good at sarcasm, although most of the time it is by complete accident.

Can anyone else think of any?

Just as an aside, Bob Geldof actually lives just down the road from me. He lives opposite Battersea Park. Me and my family have seen him out and about on several occasions over the years.

Deathly sarcastic does not sound Aspie-like. Most of us have difficulties reading sarcasm, let alone crafting it. I can only make sarcastic jokes by copying them from other people, and storing them in long term memory.
Aspies (at least myself) are generally smart people, and therefore can come up with a smart joke or two.
Just remember that Aspies differ from each other greatly.

My sarcasm is usually unusual, I think.

Yes. Which would make it more noticeable and therefore would possibly give you (or whoever) a reputation as a witty, sarcastic person.

The osbournes - the whole family, the one not in the show is me lol. Escaped - remind me off my own family (which is so blatently entirely autistic). Had some de-ja moments reading Sharon Osbournes autobiography.
Amy Lee - listen to the lyrics, see her interviews, defintely very talented and different.
Tim Burton - that's a given well held rumour.

The thing is though, I'm really not. I can seem very witty and sarcastic but it comes artificially.. I copy sarcasm that I have observed from other people, and emulate it, and make it my own. It's not "real" sarcasm.
This is similar to something like this: Someone sees an Aspie very expressive and chatty somewhere, thus you'd think that person has good social skills and is not Aspie. What you're missing is that the person they were interacting with, they have probably known for years, and thus have no inhibition on expression.
Now introduce that same person to a stranger and expect them to "jell," and you will see a totally different (socially disabled) person.
People get confused with me because I am "very expressive" around certain people... but the key word is certain people, in fact only people I have known for many years!

Yes, I can relate to that. I am certainly more outgoing around people I know well and can trust.
