[quote="wob182"][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI4svcrgiqk&feature=related[/youtube] I watched this its labelled asperger's is it just me or is this more autism? I hate the way its edited i look at it and I'm really scared of the way there acting. I don't like the way their portrayed as though its a documentary on wildlife on the discovery channel. :hmph:[/quote]
