*joins the giggle fest* Oh, how delicious! Not even Jazz's slight touch of angst was enough to keep my inner fangirl from SQUEEing at the sheer hilarity of this piece of WIN. *offers cyber-cookies as prize*
You pretty much defined Aspergers in programming terms - "you’ve developed subroutines around that to allow you to make logical deductions of social situations and the appropriate responses." That's Aspergers all over; Aspies have to train themselves to recognize common social cues and scripts. I have several friends who are dealing with this, and while some of them have physical symptoms, others show relatively few signs until you've interacted with them extensively. I personally am just outside the range of diagnosable Aspergers, but it's why I tend to get along with them. Also, Aspergers tends to go hand in hand with a particularly analytical form of intelligence; that's why you see a lot of computer programmers, physicists, and engineers, (for example) and geeks in general who fall somewhere on the high-functioning Autism to Aspergers range of the social spectrum. So even if it wasn't intentional, Prowl's got the signs of being an Aspie.
