Actually, I saw an interview with him (I think 60 minutes?) and thought the same thing. He talked about his childhood, not fitting in with the other kids, not doing well in school despite being clearly intellegent, having narrow interests. As he was talking about his relationship with words and reading the dictionary he sounded totally AS.


Interesting, it does sound like AS.

p.s. totally off subject, anyone else noticed the 3D Smileys add? the purple one is funny lol

Actually, now you come to mention it, didn't Eminem say that he probably read the dictionary about ten times as a kid? And yeah, he actually didn't fit in when he was younger, like his lyrics say.

Hmm.

Most people with a narrow range of interests don't have AS, even though most people with AS have a narrow range of interests.



Him not getting along well with other kids has soooooooooooo many other explanations when you look at the details of his upbringing.
