TV Characters

[Aet1985]

I was wondering is it an Aspergers trait to imagine or an inner world? I watch older TV shows like Married With Children and the The Honeymooners. I have noticed mostly when I am stressed or push myself, I imagine that I am part of the stories, or wonder how these characters would act or react in the real world.

Pow! Straight to the moon! Might not work out well in the real world.

There was only one TV character that I thought about in those terms as a kid- Spock.
I was nine when Star Trek made its debut and there was an instant connection with Spock.

Recently I watched the documentary For the Love of Spock, and the star from The Big Bang Theory, said when he was a kid, he would ask himself, "What would Spock do?"
That made me smile because I would ask myself the same thing as a kid when I wondered how to react to something or facing something I was uncertain about.

That is the only character I ever felt this way about.

When I was young I mostly watched cartoons or anime (tbh still the case lol) but one pretty formative show was Lost. I don’t know if it’s exactly as you describe here, but I think for me at least I kind of modeled behaviors off of Locke, Hurley, and Sawyer before I had any understanding of concepts like masking.

I would do this for many characters. Sometimes, I still do. I would have a favorite show, book or movie, and often think to myself "what would xyz do now" and speak/move/act accordingly.
