He is a Boston Red Sox fan and is thus very likely to have some sort of neurotic nuance.

Go Sox…Yankees suck!! !

How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand.



So the options are become a serial killer or a writer? :twisted: LOL


And yes i believe in telekinesis....... I love 'carrie'[/quote]

:oops: I just read this in an article once. It's most likely nonsense though. I mean the person who wrote the article said, "In my opinion Stephen King is a serial killer but projects his inner violence through writing instead of acts." I suppose that both writing and killing give people a sense of power. Killing someone is controlling their lifespan but writing gives someone the power to control every action a person, (though made-up most of the time) ever does until they die or until the book ends. Jeez I sound like a psychiatrist! 8O I knew I shouldn't have read those psychology books. The article goes on to say that King received counselling and it probably helped him. It also says that "If Ted Bundy had received similar guidance, how many people would have been saved and would we be reading books written by him, not about him?" although I find that comparing writers to serial killers is a bit farfetched even if they both do have a habit of murdering (only difference is King is killing made-up people).

Do excuse my drabbling but Stephen King is one of my obsessions.

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

I love that theory about him being a potential serial killer......

I don't think there is much difference between them and us, especially if it really is down to our upbringing... :twisted:

Any of us could become like that although i prefer to write LOL :skull:


Do you?

:roll:

Yeah and I have some similarities to an elephant. I am heavy, with broad flat feet and an excellent memory. I also have a large nose, eat fresh vegetables, am covered with body hair, and have very pale skin.


Well isn't that just lovely?! I'm sure you don't look like an elephant. You really shouldn't put youself down like that! Besides, according to a photo-scanner, I resemble Ashton Kutcher but I certainly don't act like him. (I'm a girl so that scanner is stupid anyway!)

Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

I don't think he is AS.I've seen interviews and listened to his "On Writing" audio book,and he strikes me as fairly NT.He does have a real intelligence and sensitivity for the human mind though,as well as his dark humor and honesty.

Do you?


:D Yes! I'd much rather be a writer than a serial killer! For one thing, I'm a very good writer, and killing people seems to be such a hassle! I mean, first off, you have to pick someone to kill, and then you have to get them isolated, and get a good weapon. Then you have the whole DNA stuff to deal with! So you have to wear gloves so you won't leave fingerprints, and a hairnet to keep your hair from falling out. Then you have to ditch the clothes you were wearing, especially if they're covered in blood. I suppose you could dig a shallow grave for them or something, but some jogger will probably end up finding them eventually! Sheesh! I don't know how those people find the time and energy! No wonder so many killers are caught! It must been an exhausting career.

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now!

Fourteen Characteristics of a Serial Killer

Could you be raising a criminal? Acts of violence don't come out of nowhere, and every parent should be aware of the clues along the way. For the most violent of criminals, there are warning signs that often start in childhood. Below is a list of the 14 most common traits of serial killers.
1. Over 90 percent of serial killers are male.
2. They tend to be intelligent, with IQ's in the "bright normal" range.
3. They do poorly in school, have trouble holding down jobs, and often work as unskilled laborers.
4. They tend to come from markedly unstable families.
5. As children, they are abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers.
6. Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.
7. They hate their fathers and mothers.
8. They are commonly abused as children — psychologically, physically and sexually. Often the abuse is by a family member.
9. Many serial killers spend time in institutions as children and have records of early psychiatric problems.
10. They have high rates of suicide attempts.
11. From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sado-masochistic pornography.
12. More than 60 percent of serial killers wet their beds beyond the age of 12.
13. Many serial killers are fascinated with fire starting.
14. They are involved with sadistic activity or tormenting small creatures.

I have many similarities to a serial killer, but as of yet, no one has discovered any of the bodies, so it's all good. Lots of people do actually; it's not all that uncommon.

Anywhom, I'm going to go against the grain and say, no, I don't think he's an aspie. His interviews and such seem far to normal to be that of an aspie, and an imagination does not equal AS.

As for telekinesis, I think it's a possibility. I do believe in the supernatural and the paranormal.

I don't see any reason why telekenisis should not exist. We know so little about the human mind that saying it couldn't exist is like looking down a deep, pitch-black well and saying there could not be a pot of gold at the bottom. It seems unlikely, but there's no reason to rule it out as possible.

This thread is 2 years old which means it’s time someone refreshed it at last. :twisted: Stephen King is my favorite author of all time. :D

If King has AS, then I have LFA. :lol: He’s a perfectly normal guy like everybody else. I don’t know who was the first to ever hit upon an idea to suspect him of having AS but that’s the result of this new fashion to classify even relatively mildly quirky people as having the developmental disorder. :lol:

There's definitely a lot of consistency in his books. The Gunslinger saga pretty much ties into every one of his books in some subtle way. I don't think it necessarily means AS, though. I think it's really just tongue-in-cheek humor. A way of rewarding his most loyal fans with literary "easter eggs."


love the dark tower saga :D

No no no. I hate this type of thinking. It is too Hans Christian Andersen.

Weak nuclear
Strong nuclear
Electro-magnetic
Gravity

Those are the four fundamental forces of nature. That's it; that's what can effect objects at a distance. Which of the four is your body supposedly capable of producing to cause remote objects to move?

Nuclear forces act over unimaginably small distances within the nucleus of the atom. So it isn't them.

Gravity isn't directional. So even if you could somehow generate a gravity force greater than the infinitely small one produced by the mass of your body (you can't), your entire house would collapse on you just after your own body collapsed itself into a perfect sphere.

Electro-magnetic force would only affect ferrite objects. Telekinesis can supposedly move anything. And besides E-M drops with a square of the distance so if you could move an object 10 feet away you'd have to have so much E-M force generated at your body, any metal in your own clothes or in nearby items would run through your body and kill you. Think of it as being inside an MRI scanner.

So there is no such thing as telekinesis.

If you want another proof, a non-scientific one? No human being in the history of this planet has ever been documented to possess telekinetic powers. But you are somehow different and you could do what no one else has ever been able to? Nope sorry.

The reason i ask is i've read a lot of his books and it's not unusual for certain places, characters and incidents to be mentioned in stories that have been written after these places, characters and incidents were first published in their own stories. It's like you can build up a clearer picture when all these things are connected, am i the only one thinking this or do others see the familiar connections? In his books i find a lot of patterns/consistency. Maybe it's just me and i'm not sure i've explained it properly but that's the the only way i can see to explain. :oops:

What do you think?


The world of Stephen King is the State of Maine.

When I saw him on television, heard what he was saying and how - it was a long documentary made upon his life - it was quite obvious.
