Einstein was not autistic. He had Aspergers Syndrome, which actually is similar to Autism except involves a very high IQ. In fact, people with Aspergers are higher functioning than even you or me. Quoting Wikipedia: "Ioan James, Michael Fitzgerald, and Simon Baron-Cohen believe that Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton had personalities consistent with Asperger syndrome" In fact, I find it upsetting how you openly mock Aspergers, despite not even knowing what it is. Do you have any friends with Aspergers? You should meet one in person. They're hard to tell apart from normal people due to their level of functioning. In fact, aside from social skills, they can even make normal people look retarded in comparison. "Aspergers is MORE classified to those who come down with it LATER in life during their ADULT years." This is incorrect. You are thinking of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is a disorder that effects people when they become old, and ruins their memory. Aspergers is the exact opposite. Aspergers happens at a very young age and causes people to have photographic memories. Their minds can memorize and learn things like a computer. One of my best friends has Aspergers (a math genius who works for NASA) and he is only 13! According to Wikipedia, "Children with AS may have an unusually sophisticated vocabulary at a young age and have been colloquially called "little professors" Little professors! I mean come on. That's far from the idea you have of them being slow or dim-witted. I understand you get upset when people say that you have Aspergers. That's understandable. I too get upset when people think I have something other than autism. But going as far as telling a doctor to go shove it? Do you realize that's going a bit too far? Can't you just admit for once that you're wrong, and that you didn't know what Aspergers is? Sincerely, Douglas C |

Hayyyy chris! I've been reading sonichu for a while, and I'm soo glad you made your mailbag page so fans like me can get in touch with the true and honest brains behind cwcville!! I really enjoyed the dating education episode... But I'm having some difficulties in finding an honest, caring boyfriend! Even though I'm following all your advice and I scored 100% on your test, nothing seems to work! Even when I think that I've met that "special someone" and we are hitting it off, they always eventually run away after a moment of being freaked out! It's sooooo frustrating!!! What's a sweet, boyfriend-free girl like me to do??! Xoxoxoxoxox Bailey Also, see the pic.. It's me ;) |

Hello, Chris, My name is Jacob and I've been following your work for a while now. It has not been far from my mind as I have been working on my first novel, the first draft of which was finished just today (the 27th). As it's my first, I've been quite exhilarated, and in the afterglow I suddenly remembered a couple of things I've been wanting to ask you. First: if I may be so audacious, I'd like it if you could read the first draft of my novel and tell me what you think of it. When I get to writing the second draft in six weeks, I'd like as many perspectives on the novel as I can, so that I can write the best novel that I can before sending it to publishers to be evaluated. Might I send you a copy? Second: as a fellow Cherokee, I can't help but wonder why you drew your Cherokee ancestor as being pale-skinned, blue-eyed, and adorned with golden armor. Are the copper skin and leather of your ancestors not visually impressive enough for you? I also wonder why you used a pretend clan as a rival as opposed to one of our ancestral rivals, such as the Mi-Go or the Yithans. Ia! Ithaqua f'taghn! With admiration, Jacob Nathaniel Lights-in-the-Sky of the Cherokee nation. |

My Dearest Christian, In my careful consideration, there are no less than four aspects of the Sonichu which rear their heads at different moments throughout CWCiana. These are: Sonichu, the Man; Sonichu, the Hero; Sonichu, the Husband; Sonichu, the Beast. It is the Beast-Sonichu upon which I have affixed my gaze and of whom I wish to make a study; my firstmost thought of course is to the children, and thus I have rigged-up this simple Anti-Drugs poster featuring Sonichu in a pose which should scare any Mindless Junky off his dinner of Heroin and Raw Meat, Stolen from a Pakistani Shopkeep Down the Road (as it might be). Note the detail; note the sorrow in Sonichu's eyes, the cold needle as it slides through skin, flesh and yellow fur; note too how he sags like a sack of fat in the corner of his sad room, and how his drug use is so extreme that milky butter seeps and slops from his withered intimate. Eagerly Awaiting Your Kind Reply, ~ Your Friend Jeremy. |

How can you misunderstand? I do not live in country with a democracy. I will be sentenced to death. You tell me, "Don't worry about your parents; they only care about your safety and well-being." No, sir. You are misunderstand. The police have already been told about this. They wish to take me away, they say I commit a sin that cannot be forgiven. They wish to put me to death. I will be beheaded. There will be no trail. I will die soon. There is no forgiveness for a spreading a "false doctrine." Please... Is this the best advice you can offer me? Please, tell me what to do. I am not going to live. Please do not tell me that you honestly are oblivious to my situation. You got me into this, tell me how to get out. Sincerely, Rashid |
