The one where the kid chants about wanting the red crayon, right? :D

Lol that's one good example. Or "I see dead people!". :lol:

When I was in high school, I knew a kid who was definitely Aspergian-----and he was black.

I hate the stereotype of every kid with Asperger's being a potential school shooter/active killer.
