Obviously not, cause I looked it up and it says it can have negative affects. But I also looked up the kid and I couldnt find out if he was autistic. Is there something youve seen that I havent?

Watching Evan -- his gestures, his responses, the way he doesn't quite communicate, quite meet anyone's eye (I know these dodges and weaves) -- I'm experiencing a uniquely powerful confluence of knowledge, feelings, and experiences, related to (1) my lifelong interest in language and literature, (2) my scholarly expertise in the cultural history of spelling, and (3) my recent (five-year-old) history in parenting a son now diagnosed as autistic.</div>link2<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Evan looks to be quite an unusual kid. If I had to guess, I?d say he is a twice-exceptional child, gifted and probably has Aspergers. He certainly had many of the telltale signs of an Aspie kid. No matter, it?s apparent he?s very smart, and maybe a bit pushed by his mother, who when interviewed kept extolling his musical and math ability over his ability to spell. It didn?t even seem like Evan likes to spell. At his post-win interview, he stated that it was just ?memorization? and that he hated the spelling bee.</div>It's almost as if someone educated in the subject had exactly the same opinion that I did. Wait no, there were two people. Is that someones?
Okay...youve proved it to me that he has aspergers most likely...im sorry if I didnt believe you but your not a doctor. But youve shown proof to show you were right. I never knew of that condition, and now I feel pretty sorry for the kid...well he did win the spelling bee...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I feel pretty sorry for the kid...well he did win the spelling bee...</div>No you were on track, it's good to feel sorry for him because he did win a spelling bee.

I do feel sorry because he will likely never have sex.
<span style="font-family:Arial">The kid is a black belt in karate, I would have never guessed.</span>
I just read a comment in one of the videos saying"Evan O'Dorney better be tring to get as much ass as he can right now. Beacuse this is the only time in his life he will be able to use being the World Champoin of Spelling Bee's to get some."So true.
wow, that really was hard to watch.im glad it wasnt longer or else I would have cried myself to sleepthis kid has to make sure they knew that he would have spelled it right if he heard right, holy geezeeven if he is challenged doesn't have to be so cockysorry, I just cant stand ito and I watched that jimmy kimmel clip and its pretty funnny
<span style="font-family:Arial">I didn't think the kid was trying to be cocky, it just came off that way.</span>

Lol.. Wow... :HAHAHA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSojmWBwwnk...ted&search=Here he is with Jimmy Kimmel. I don't think he has any mental issues, but I wouldn't know. Maybe he does, I don't know.
