Nyaah nyaah we beat you this year :P.

There are plenty of Aspies at GT (I haven't met any, but the nickname for Asperger's at the place I got my legal diagnosis was Georgia Tech Syndrome :lol:), so I would imagine the same would hold true for Virginia Tech.

XD I've heard that about GT. I'd think VT would be the same.

I don't believe it's been determined he had Asperger's, or has it?

"no known record exists of Cho ever being diagnosed with autism, nor could an autism diagnosis be verified with Cho's parents. The Virginia Tech Review Panel report dismissed an autism diagnosis and experts later doubted the autism claim."

It is highly unlikely that he had Asperger's.

Yeah. My poetry teacher last semester had been his English teacher (the one who Cho'd given all those sick plays to) and he didn't seem to think there were any similarities between us.
