Your parents must be proud of you! You were so brave in this video, talking in front of many people is not for everyone! 🏆

I was diagnosed in my 30s by the VA after I was in the Marines. It made a lot of sense. It explained a lot.

@maddox veisz. It also seems you have a talent for public speaking. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Well done! Wishing you all the best! I know the problems with a different sense of humour and being bullied because others dont understand me being smart in a different way.
All the Aspergers out there: Keep going!!

I would not be able to speak infront of a crowd at his age. Proud of his bravery i wouldve just frozen up.

Some of the greatest minds to have ever lived had Asperger’s. My son has not been diagnosed yet, because he is not even 2 yet but he is showing signs.

Look up famous people who have had or have and you will be shocked.

From Elon musk, to Albert Einstein to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs just to name a few.

An advantage, a person with Asperger‘s has is that their level focus and drive towards something that they are passionate about is unmatched. The average Joe will get out competed every time.

The job is to help your kid find what is passionate about so he can put the focus energy and unmatched drive towards that thing. You should teach your kid. This is almost like a superpower in an advantage that they have over other people.

Either my man’s being held at gunpoint or he’s just shockingly good at this

[bauer]

Many, if not almost all genius minds fell on the spectrum so I'm happy about it

[BeyondtheWorld]

Lol he talked so fast, good job little man!

[Grapesforbananas]

This was an interesting discussion on Asperger’s and autism.

[shaebaby]

You absolutely positively do not have to tell me that this Kid is pulling all A's easily...

[reneemondragon]

I'm giving you a standing ovation

[TubboDaKittyCat]

Good god it took me ten years AFTER this kids diagnoses for me at 24 to be diagnosed

[SaffronFulton]
