Abed

NBC's Community, in my opinion, is one of the best shows on television.  One of my favorite characters on the show is Abed, played by Danny Pudi.  As far as the audience is concerned, there has never been a moment on the show when Abed is identified with having Asperger's, but it is fairly obvious to an informed observer that the character has traits that land him on the Autism spectrum.  There are moments in the show where Abed's suspected disability is mentioned.  For example, in the first episode of the series, Abed's character is accused of having Asperger's.  In a later episode, the same character says, "Abed, you're a computer," commenting on his ability to sort information.  In true fashion of a individual with Autsim, Abed does not portray a great deal of emotion.  This lack of expression provides Community with some very interesting story lines.  For example, in last season's Christmas episode, Abed was having difficulty presented with an overwhelming amount of emotion.  Because of this, he imagined him and all of the other characters in the show in a claymation Christmas world.  I found this very interesting that they did not mention his disability but use it to enhance the show as a whole.
