for all those people who say autism is a go nowhere syndrome. just take a look at this guy ,we are the intelligent people who will end up running the world soon!!!

Listen to the T-shirt people. I have AS and what this man says and his T-shirt are so true. The Blonde woman in grey is talking to him like he's a child almost - that happens a lot to me.

as far as i know, people with ASD are usually unrivaled in their field(s) of expertise but they're not prone to holding grudges which will tempt people to exploit them. they're seem impervious to pain. supposedly, i'm an aspey. i say "supposedly" because, i go out to the clubs and drink with the boys, flirt with girls and do all the things that "normal" folks do. anyway, based on what this video has covered, do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks or vice-versa?

@daimyoyo yes

@cirosuperiore That is true but most of the time violence from somebody with AS is reactionary, like cornering an animal and then it bites. They don't start fights, they just don't have the necessary social tools to deal with confrontation so it will resort to violence quicker that with a "normal" person. Another thing is stress,like regular Autism they get sensory overload, loud noise, smells, and frustration puts them on edge so if they don't decompress they can snap.

@cirosuperiore The shirt isn't hostile, it's just frank and/or blunt. It's matter of fact advice on how to optimize interaction with him.

This guy probably thinks everyone in the studio is treating him like a dumbnut.

Se supone que la remera satiriza la mecánica detrás de las convenciones sociales. Algunos usan displays sociales y emocionales, como ser amable con alguien, solo para mantener las apariencias. Lo mas bizarro es que aun después de leer la remera sigan siendo falsas con el.

The T-shirt is supposed to satirize the mechanics behind social conventions. Some use social and emotional displays, such as being nice to someone, just to keep up appearances.

@TheManiNicole is just a nervous laugh 'cuz she feels uncomfortable. I guess than the way he speak seems awkward to them. (sorry by my bad english).

[Fabsvava]

@aspiebear that is true...I also noticed that I am a psychologist student and we must show respect to ASD or AS as we would like to be respect...Individuals with these disorder does not necessary need to be treat like a babies, yet with respect!! empathize do not sympathize!

@aspiebear People who use generalization skills based on both preconceived notions and simplification should kill themselves, like this women.
