    He's better than fucking MJ Ale I'll give him that. He also has the good, genius type of Autism. Ale has the dumb, drooling type of Autism. Jaxson Kirkland isn't retarded he just looks retarded. Wouldn't be surprised if his parents are cousins.

    Remember when you said he was better than MJ ALE who is currently a UW commit?

    Not to make this a pop psychology class, but Autism can mean lot's of different things. Almost everyone jumps to some sort of Rainman type of mental picture. To call them retarded is far from the truth. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are both on the spectrum somewhere. To call them retarded is simply admitting to one's personal inability to achieve at a level that they have. Why are they successful? Unwavering abilities to focus, establish and execute plans while ingnoring social traps that come with the outcomes of those plans. Buffett is worth over $70 billion dollars, yet lives in a $300,000 house, drives a $50,000 Cadillac, and eats an Egg McMuffin every morning. He could afford upgrades in all aspects 1000x what we utilizes, but sees that extravagance as a distraction from the goal. He loves to do nothing more that to exist in his successful routine that works for him, and doesn't care how others perceive it. You could argue that being able to do that is a huge advantage. College football is all about following a very regimented routine. This sort of situation may really cater to an Autistic person if they can hack the physical part.

    Usually, the biggest hurdle autistic people face physically are large motor functions (obviously this kid has managed to overcome many of those based on film.) I guarantee that a person that functions at this level while having Asbergers has done nothing but redundant work to get there, as they are almost never athlethically gifted from the start. From the interviews that I've seen, he seems to have no trouble communicating. So, socially he's probably ok. Having known a few people like this, you could call there honestly "blunt and refreshing". It looks like he's already started 2 seasons of varsity ball, in a very proficient offense (I saw in the team stats that they averaged over 40 points per game and about 500 yards per game).

    Like it or not, most people that invent, innovate and lead show signs, if undiagnosed, of being somewhere on the spectrum.

    I'm pretty sure I'm on the spectrum and I'm a complete loser.

    Not at all. A bit hypocritical considering you posted this: "@BallzDeep struggling and fagging up another thread." People more intelligent than you make you angry. That is obvious. Move on.
    Well. ok then. Pretty sure it won't work out for you here. Doogman maybe?
