I have AS too, but I'm not a fan of taking fiction too literally myself. Though when I was younger, I DID believe there really was an Oz somewhere that Baum was in contact with. But that may be from wishful thinking and being a kid, not so much the Asperger's. Though it's fun to come up with reasons for discrepancies in the Oz books via Oz-as-History, I know enough of Baum's writing that it's more likely mistakes due to Oz-as-Literature.
