I love this childhood story told by the US actor Ian Somerhalder. He does not have AS, but he said he had one imaginary friend when he was very little. He said that he called him Ian and he was a carbon copy of him. They did everything together, played together, read together, stole from the fridge together One day, Ian´s mom bought a whole packet of chewing gums. (The real) Ian asked if his imaginary friend can have some. Mom said: "OK, but only after dinner." But her son did not care about the order, of course, and stole the whole packet. When his mother was looking for him outside, she found Ian sitting behind the barn with the mouth full of the chewing gums. He looked like a hamster. His mom got angry and said: "Wait, young man! I thought you will save the gums for your imaginary friend!" And Ian grinned and said: "NO, my friend Ian does not like this kind."
I thought this story was kinda funny.
