Adam and Jamie neither are 'sufferers', whatever is up with them, they have adapted if needed and are seemingly making it successful, those that 'suffer' which you seem to preoccupy with being related to having Aspergers would not be as successful likely.

Thank you, I do not consider myself to be "suffering" from AS either, but it is more my state of being that is different from most others. And personally I like living in my own little world :lol:

Not perfect but I'm not "suffering".

In any case not to derail, Erlyrisa... if I had to bet my textbooks on it... I'd have say that yes Jamie may well have AS.

Absolutely one of my favorite shows btw.

I don't know if he's Aspie, but he is one hell of a pyromaniac...

I'm suffering from high enthusiasm for life and a bouncy, enthusiastic nature!

I don't know if Jamie's an Aspie, but I sure like his style! He also has a very quirky sense of humor.

Mythbusters has been my latest TV obsession. I'm the artistic type, and even I get amused and entertained by it.

How can you NOT enjoy it?! My favs that I can think of right now are the Killer Decapitating Fan and the Truck-Car-Truck Crush (when two trucks collide head-on and crush a car flat in the middle)!

OH YEAH!! !

The 360 Swing one was also wicked, as was the 'Paint a room with Dynamite in a Bucket of paint' one, inspired by Mr. Bean!

I just watched 360' swing/bulletproof water last night, Discovery is replaying old Mythbusters episodes everyday.

Well, I'm in the States, so I doubt my TV schedule is the same as yours, but it's on at 11AM and again at 4PM Mon-Fri and a different one Monday night at 11PM.

Hmm, here, there's a re-run schedule in Prime at 9:30, and then on Discovery a premiere episode is on at 10:30! 2 hours of the Busters!!

ah the concrete one was cool, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the security devices and the alarms!

that one where they try a fingerprint reader, and it FAILS! haha, I was so surprised!
and the part where they put a blanket and just move and the sound detector FAILS! haha

also I loved the fertilizer-explosive 8O

ohh, and the radio that melts the jail bars!! !! !!

Jamie's definitely an Aspie, though a mild one. He seems to be the same "kind" of Aspie as myself.
