Did any of you watch Neil Goldstein's audition in Los Angeles last week (he was the first one up, had an IQ of 168 and was really socially awkward with the nervous tic of tsking a few times). I thought he was a nice guy but really awkward socially and he reminded me of me when I was younger (not being aware of how he affected others, sometimes I still don't know what others are really thinking).

It struck me when he was auditioning that he likely has Asperger's. Did anyone else get that feeling??

I wondered, too, and it was his parents that clued me in, how they acted like they were two wrens that found they had hatched peacock in their nest.

Someone in the comments on the YouTube clip of his performance claimed to have gone to high school with Neil Goldstein and said he had Asperger's.

Just saw the video on youtube... painful...

Avril Lavigne is much worse, though.
