So, I will stick up for anyone like young Warren any day!

The world needs people like us for sure. I have always admired Warren Buffet (and Bill Gates) philanthropy...not just a tax writeoff either at that amount. (30 billion...wow, I almost forgot but I recalled it was a large percentage of his fortune overall too). That means it's closer to a billionaire's mite than a billionaire's drop in the bucket.

man you are on so many forums, what do you think about va. tech?

[lordalfredhenry]

Mostly I think the families of the victims need a lot of support as they are victims of displaced anger. Warning signs for these kinds of paranoid killers are still not heeded very well and society continues to be unfair and bigotted...a major cause of the problem. The media likes making a new statistic for every story.

I love that you have been brave enough to speak out about the experience of having ASD. It helps us all understand a little better, hopefully breeding compassion and acceptance.

[lordalfredhenry]

Thank you for the kind words. I am hoping to make more videos. Currently having some job issues. I understand you have some challenges going on now too so if I can, I'd like to use this response to also say I hope you will find something that will help you overcome and restore your health. For everyone's sake.

[johngagon]

you are z0rgz0rg. I'm only unique as we all are. Maybe some are more than others. *shrug*

im special, like einstein and warren buffet

[nathanwilefrazier]

Warren Buffet, for example, also used to collect bottle-caps, memorize licence plates, etc when he was very young. Since then, he has been able to avoid the trap of heard mentality precisely when it is about to lead the world astray and direct its resources to more efficient uses. One of those uses was donating $30,000,000,000 (yes, that is the right number of zeros) to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which has been estimated to have saved the lives of over 10 million children already.

Wherever I see abuse of people because they are nerdy or autistic - I always speak up for them (and with my fists if necessary...)

What most people don't realize is how much those with autistic-like disorders have contributed to the survival and well-being of our species.

When I was little I collected acorns. I used to line up books and pair them according

to the colors on the covers. I twirled record covers. I think being autistic helped me

intuitively understand the concept of design

and therefore art.

I collected weird rocks. Color, texture, shape, but usually no larger than a thumb tip.

I also tore apart broken machines to see the insides. Sometimes I'd attempt to rebuild them but the things would work only a fraction of the time (which was why I ruined 'em further!)

[H0D0NKAIN]

I agree with you about Asperger's being overly misunderstood by the media. People learn weird and immediately assume the worst.

Since Asperger's and Autism is genetic, there's no cure. Mother nature won't let us get out of hand, theres a balance. Maybe it's part of the natural mental evolution. who knows.
