I remember seeing this commercial as well. I was just told that I was HFA a few months earlier and I was hung up on the Rain Man thing and afraid that I would never have a future.

Why is it that almost every time I see an advertisement from a long time ago it always has someone speaking in that same tone of voice? Commercials now never sound like that.

people say I talk and sometimes look like sylvester stalone (not look like him so much...but a bit)

wonder if he is partly on the spectrum and doesn't know it
