You are a good man.... truly.

To be honest, I didn't know he was going to be autistic when I accepted being his godfather. I like to take advantage of every situation I'm in.

Sometimes. Then again, I know some people that(kinda like rainman) will do STUPID things with numbers and are autistic. It's really not all that bad, and if I'm not mistaken it can somewhat be controlled? Not entirely, but somewhat.

Those are mildly autistic people. I'm talking about full blown autism.

yea, the way their brain works is insane.. its overcomplicated i think, so they are extremely good with numbers, math, things like that, but when it comes to social skills and personality, its hard for their brain to grasp the concept.. at least i think thats how it works

Not all of them are a rainman, do0d. In fact only a very small percentage are good at numbers at all. Many have different skills.

yea, i was talking about that small percentage, the way i typed it came off as they are all the same. i was talking about the kids mr grubbs was talking about.
