    Or switch back to the keyboard you were using for your other recent posts
    Has anyone else noticed the proliferation of border line autistic or aspergers TV characters at the moment?
    We have the new Sherlock on BBC, Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, Bones Brennan from Bones and then the fully fledged autistic Gary in Alphas.

    Do you think this is helpfull in awareness of such conditions or will it spread misconceptions about ASD's (Autism Spectrum Disorders)
    or
    is this just telly and i should stop thinking about it and enjoy it

    Plenty of l characters there...

    Did you really think we wouldn't check your other most recent posts?

    can you not manage to conduct your behaviour in such a way on the internet to refrain from using said character on your keyboard.?

    it can be achieved , as you can see from this response

    Start - all programmes - accessories - ease of access = On-screen keyboard.

    Click away for any missing letters.

    I have worked in IT since leaving school about 20 years ago and I have a solution.

    You need to press CTRL+SHIFT+L ..... oh actually I see the problem.
    As a plan B you could give your son a clip round the earhole maybe?
    Seriously, I'm a very good engineer but a really bad father.

    AH computer repair?
    I believe this thrend is a load of troll, but hey if true most likely dirt under the key, use a med-size unused paint brush, run the brush under the keys.
    If there was a hardware problem then more than one key would be effected, ie P&L&, a single key is prob a bit of a hobnob stuck under the key. EOL
