For those who don't know me too well, my little brother has mild autism. One of the things he likes to do is "chatter", which usually involves wandering around talking to himself about whatever's on his mind (with permission and by himself, of course, he understands it's not exactly appropriate around other people). From what he's told me and what I've heard of him doing it, it's basically the equivalent of messing around with one's headcast, just out loud.

And...occasionally into a weird area. Yesterday my mother asked my brother why he was so upset.
Apparently, he was upset that the Hundred Acre Woods caught on fire and Kanga and Roo's house was burned up. So now Roo is an orphan being raised by Aladar (from Dinosaur) and Aladar's teaching him how to survive in the wild. Mom was rather horrified that something like this would actually happen on a kid's show, but David reassured her that it was only happening in his chattering and not on the TV show.

Good, thinks my mom. So, what will happen to Roo? David isn't sure what happens next, which is why he wants to go back to chattering so he can find out.

Freaky? Yes, but it's better than a lot of Kingdom Hearts fanfic. We really do wonder where he gets this stuff sometimes, but it's rather nicely creative even if it does get a bit weirdly dark sometimes. My mom's even encouraged him to start writing it down, but he prefers to keep it all up inside his head--I think he's a bit embarrassed by it. Still, I think it's kinda cool he can get this complex, epic world together and get emotionally attached to it.

It's still a pretty weird fantasy life, though. In the clean sense; discussing my brother's other weird fantasy life would take a whole 'nother post and me trying to remember exactly how I explained to my parents what a "furry" was.
