I'm sure that being home schooled hasn't had any effect on his people skills.

I saw this on the Soup last night hilarious
i see a lot of comments about people saying he has Aspergers and is home schooled but cant find where they actually found this information. Aspurgers is a completely seperate disorder but its often compared to Autism. But it is high functioning and a lot of times you would never be able to tell if a kid had the disorder. But if he does have the disorder home schooling him would be the worst thing for it. Aspergers in most cases is a social skills problem so putting the kid in a socially stimulating environment is where hes going to learn how to react and behave with others. His parents probably beat him with a dictionary

I love how they throw the sandwich out there to try and save the interview

Aspergers can be compared to Autism because it's in that family of brain disorders.


Autism is unpredictable and sometimes scary (how autistic people react to things).

Aspergers is very very strange. A five year old with Aspergers could be speaking a language properly at an adult level. They have those same savant characteristics in Autism but they are able to control what they learn. They lack any social skills because they lack empathy entirely. When I lived in Sugarland, my neighbors brother had Aspergers and it was the strangest thing talking to him. There was no real emotion. It was like talking to Data from Star Trek.

Yeah man. They dont understand humor. And usually their laughter is misplaced. It could be nervous laughter. You can see that in Jimmy Kimmel's interview. And they like to stare and wander.

that's true too...

it's actually kind of random what things they develop

that's why it's such a controversial disorder....no one really knows

I wonder how many of you folks on here realize that I was homeschooled?

A lot of homeschooled kids are fucked up socially, granted, but a lot more have extremely well-developed social skills.
