Fantastic, Alex!

It wasn't as great as Paul Potts who sang opera on YouTube (Britain's got talent) and who wowed Simon Cowell by his talent
but then, you weren't expecting a record deal now, were you?

Alex, I am so in awe of you. Can I have permission to worship you? LOL.

Seriously, I talk to people about Asperger's as well, and I have been very impressed with you. I thank you the most for developing and building WP!

Great video. Thanks for sharing, and thanks also for the website. I met my boyfriend here and we've been happily together for more than a year.

I just sat and watched it again now that I could give it my undivided attention. The information was excellent. What struck me most was the way you delivered it. You are very funny.

Congratulations on a job well done and on having a girlfriend who seems to be very nice. :wink:

Nice video.

And um, thanks for creating WP. I've come across several AS forums and this is the only one I like.

Nice video. Were you wearing your yellow shoes in it? It was hard to tell with the low lighting. I really like those shoes.
