he was ridiculously good at math, could just ask him to multiply some 3digit x 3digit number and he'd have the answer in 5 seconds but his memory was truly mindblowing.. he had completely memorized like 5 years of donald duck. someone tested him once - brought a random donald magazine, asked him "what does scrooge say in the second drawing on page 17 of donald duck number 39 from 1995" (I don't remember exactly what magazine it actually was), and he recited it flawlessly.. sucks that he couldn't understand even the simplest metaphores and had serious problems having any conversations. I actually met him like three weeks ago though, for the first time in 10 years, and it seemed like he was aware of him not understanding stuff in the same way "ordinary" people do. when I phrased myself in a not-completely-specific way, he just said "i am sorry, but I don't understand what you mean right now" and then I just had to specify! | ||

It's an interview a child with aspergers had with his mother. I think it's really interesting, and the video is very well done. It's not as intense a condition as the autism my brother has, as you'll find out, but it still shows a hint as to how these children can behave and think differently than others may. | ||
