Does this child seem to have AS?

He is very strange, and is posting on /b/.

Is there supposed to be a link in there somewhere?

Bompety boo?!?!?!? Elves!?!?!? Mommy!?!?!?

He DOES seem to be reading. IF he was so zealous, and IF he really picked those words, and IF he was really doing it on his own, I could maybe say maybe. Still, I have to wonder why he is talking about Elves and Mommy, and why call him "bompety boo"?

As for the responses? The three things I started with could elicit that, but the REST!?!?!? BTW I once had occasion to walk 15 steps more 6 times a day, and I DID lose weight! I lost enough that people commented on it!! !! !! That is only 90 steps! GRANTED, it was up stairs, but NINTY steps!

I agree with the last poster if he wasn't reading from something then I'd also say maybe. He seems very analytical about litter and it seems to be an obsession. I can't think of anything else AS related just from that video though although those two things stand out.

I wonder if the Subaru Forester part was supposed to be ironic.

It does appear to me that he has AS. It's his eyes and how he speaks.

I really DO think he has AS. Somebody seemed to indicate he claimed that, and he has a lot of different characteristics. I don't EVER remember saying mommy or daddy, though my mother told me a sentence I said when I was about 14 months old or so, and it had the word daddy in it. Still, I have called my mother and father by name since I was 5 or younger. I also never used any odd names for myself. Even my screennames or handles are neutral. I also never lisped. I ALSO would never have referred to things like elves.

Still, when I was real young, I DID use larger words, and I WAS very concerned about the environment, etc... I ALMOST wrote Carter(Then President of the US) a letter until I realized that he would probably never get it and, EVEN IF HE DID, he probably wouldn't do anything. It is a pity that only NOW are the implementing things I knew about in the early 70s! HECK, the U.S. PENTAGON is using solar power for some things! Some of the other ideas I had are used in the hybrid cars now.

If youtube was around then, I might have done the SAME! I EVEN get nervous, and HATE editing audio/visual, so I would write it down! And I sometimes stumble! BTW I ALSO was VERY organized, like he is! I wish I was as organized now.

Anyway, I wrote to him, and hinted at MY situation. I feel I was helpful and sympathetic. MAYBE he'll respond.

After this thread, I checked out more videos. Some are NICE! The girl in the following video seems to have had the same sort of experience I had! Quick rise, EARLY accomplishments, etc... with a quick plateau of sorts, of course it DID keep going up, just not nearly as fast. MY social skills improved also, and I can be hard to pick out, but they are far from perfect. :
