I think Jeb Corliss is an Aspie. What do you think?

Post Reply New Topic

I just discovered Jeb Corliss through a tweet. He is a is a professional skydiver. I think that his lack of fear, lack of many friends as he said on an FB post and his whole life philosophy that I see through his fav quotes are all pointing to the fact that he has AS. I love how he thinks and I think that what he does is awesome. Btw I also love the song in this clip, and I think "blame it on my ADD" means to say "blame it on my asperger's", sadly it didn't rhyme haha

It won't let me insert the youtube clip for some reason, so I am posting the link to it. It's him doing what he does.

This is his fav quote:
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall live them." -Jack London

PS: I overused the word "think" in this post. I think.

Yeah for me it's his obnoxious laugh that was my first hint. Than I found out about how he suffered from depression and anxiety.


Than I actually watched one of his interviews, and his body language to me is all aspie. Slumped for head, figgity legs and hands, totally obnoxious behavior aside from that. He even admits to being a weird guy.
