autism is not a learning difficulty. My adults son and daughter both have asd (Autism spectrum disorder) and as one got all A stars on her gcse, was top in her college and is on for a first at university defo not daftCreepy is so mentally challenged. His facial expressions, hand gestures, bizarre choices of vocabulary and over excitement is just bleeping weird. It’s normal for those with learning difficulties such a autism to develop obsessions, in Chris’s case this van. CREEPY CREEPING CREEP
. My son although not academically brilliant is very bright, quick witted.
Both have obsessions but that means they research the duck out of the subject and can tell exactly what it’s all about, pros cons, how to build etc.
my sons obsession is a life long passion of cars. He’d be able to tell exactly how dangerous that van is and why.
it can affect learning but only because of the difficulties they face.
My son had speech therapy, he got bullied in school for that because people thought he was weird and thick. He had the last laugh because he now fixes thier cars!
my daughters stims, has hand gestures,has Strange facial impressions but weird and stupid she isn’t!
I hate the thought of people looking at Chris and assuming he has autism. None of us know if he has or not but having autism doesn’t necessarily make you a bad parent or a dangerous one.
