    So? Autistic people are usually really good at mathor things like that even though they have a disorder. I'm not saying that's related to this in anyway, but just because you have a mental disorder doesn't mean there can't be something your very gifted at.

    God, that interview was hard to watch. The kid is most likely (edit: mildly) autistic.

But ive been around alotve autistic people and he doesn't seem autistic to me. Maybe he his or whatever, but it doesn't give him the right to be like that. Just cause your autistic, it doesn't mean you have no sense at all, they know whats going on.

    Ok you guys have it all wrong. The problem is not that he is autistic, the problem is that he is home schooled

That kid wasn't trying to be rude I don't think, but it was pretty clear that he couldn't interact very well at all. This one guy at school had Asperger's Syndrome (a mild form of autism). The kid was downright impossible to talk to. He wasn't mean-spirited, but he would come off as rude and obnoxious at times, because he was so damn argumentative.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LAZY @ Jun 7 2007, 05:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Ok you guys have it all wrong.

The kid's parents probably realized that he was too damned socially impaired to go to public school.

    For two years I would visit and hangout with autisitc children(something we did in Student Council) and not once was a kid ever acted like that. Realisticly, they are some of the most high spirited people you will ever meet. Thats a subject of either fame getting to him, or home school.

I've met some high spirited autistic kids, but the kid with Asperger's was completely different.

    I don't know what you people want from me. One of the factors in making the prognosis of autism is poor social skills. I didn't say autism gives you a bad attitude. Where are you getting that? Please quote where I said that autism gives you a bad attitude or makes you an ***hole.

    Does anyone remember the show Cheap Seats? It used to be on ESPN Classic. Where the heck are those two twins that host the show?! They used to make fun of all these kids at the spelling bees!! They could've made so many jokes about this kid in their show. :HAHAHA: You guys know what show I'm talking about right?Edit: Here's a video of the kid on the Jimmy Kimmel show, what a weirdo! Video
