Rain manI'd just started at Uni, and we were doing the standard getting pissed with the people who live nearest to you in the hall of residence thing, as it was the first week any of us had been there. For some reason we were talking about the film Rain Man, I launched into a full on Dustin Hoffman impression including slapping of the forehead, rocking back and forth and talking about how Quantas never crash. But I was sitting next to a girl whos brother was autistic. She did not see the funny side. Thing is, she had told me her brother was autistic earlier that day, I completely forgot, hence seemed all the more of a bastard.
Ah well.
