Does this video depict the stereotypical aspie?

Hi guys.

Just wondering, anybody else think this video portrays the stereotypical aspie?

I'm not offended in the least, I find it rather hilarious!

I know it's most likely fictional, however I think that describes us pretty well, except I have a phobia of gangstas, and I most certainly wouldn't want to Mow. Roll, and bowl with them.

What do you guys think?

he certainly knows all his technical terms well, for somebody who's spent most of his career in the music industry.

Thanks

I found it hilarious as well

I don't think so because:
-He knew how to use gestures in a socially communicative way;
-He didn't keep an emotionless face but actually used facial expressions;
-He played some sports.
Remember: the stereotypical person with AS never uses gestures to communicate, always keeps an emotionless face and never plays any sports

nice!! ! a fictitious dork.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but is there anything like a stereotypical aspie? Or a stereotypical neurotypical person? Mr Anybody doesn't exist anywhere, despite the energy we sometimes spend to imitate him.

Cool video.

For me I never know when my autism ends and my AvPD begins. I have such deep social issues that I don't associate with people at all. Is that autism or AvPD? I know that saying the wrong or inappropriate things is autism-based, but my general tendency to keep to myself could either be autism or AvPD.

Oh man, this is so old. I think I first remember watching this at age 13. Haha

Anyway, I don't think that this is a stereotypical aspie, nor was it intended to be. Rather it's just a stereotypical portrayal of a nerd.

You want to know old? This is old.

Funny! I like the surprise 2 second cameo by Seth Green at 00:43.

Nah, I don't see anything I would consider particularly consider AS.

It displays someone who is nerdy, but that person is not necessarily an aspie.

Funny to see the stereotypical depictions of AS. I myself always wear dark colors and wouldn't come off as a "nerd" to anybody.

There are too many stereotypes so no idea...

It does not present a realistic Aspie but it does present how the public perceives Aspies. Besides the nerdiness, the characters are narcissistic (name on underwear) and trying to be cool and failing

You think that's narcissism?

Odd. I think it's just about the dorkiest thing ever vs. someone labelling their underwear as if they're some fashion designer and think so highly of themselves that it's narcissistic trait.

Pretty dorky it is. But the question is not about my way of thinking or definitions but about the what I think the public is thinking since we are discussing stereotypes
