Does this man seem a little "spectrumy" to you?

He's BLACK(some blacks act similar, I don't mean this in a racist way). The show, in general, seems to attract people that over react, etc... Besides, they try to weed out more sedate people. So I don't know if you really get anything from this. Still, he DID look away too much, and seemed to kind of stim at one point. Like I said though, who knows? Still, it doesn't really matter. Oh yeah, what does he do for a living, and what was his childhood like? They often cover that at the beginning of the show.

The overall impression I got was, Flamboyantly Homosexual.

But yes, he definitely seems 'spectrummy'

Some blacks DO move their wrists and palms like that. ALL are TOLD to overreact, and more sedate people are weeded out. So determining if he is homosexual is even difficult. Some people are just WIERD.

Maybe, but one can never really know. I really like your word "spectrummy." That's a great word!

I did observe what is stimming but like 2ukenkerl wrote this is difficult to determine. Some humans can be quite animated especially when nervous or stimulated. Somehow I kind of like the guy but unknown as to why.

let's cut out of here...

That Raymond guy? Looks like a crack head to me. Does the autism spectrum behavior look like drug use to you?

so now it's let's 'out' the aspie?


sad.

he actually reminds me more of my younger bro who has tourettes, with all the... spastic-y body movements.

WHO KNOWS? As for "outing the autie/aspie", no harm was meant. I think Shadesofme simply saw some similar behavior, and was curious. It WOULD be funny if they found that it was 1 in 75 rather than 1 in 150. People would start to wonder if it was really that different afterall.

Well if you can't see past his skin color, try to think of him as caucasian.

Yes he appears on the spectrum to me. No eye contact, odd posture, didn't know when it was his time to stay or leave, froze when asked to pick constanants.

Let me guess, some of you think because he's black he can't have autism? It must be he smokes crack or well some blacks do this and that. Enough already.

Having autism is not a white male syndrome only.

He's a crackhead. I grew up in the projects, I saw more than my fair share of them... no doubt, he's one.

I don't know, man, but he sure did nail that final word. W2G! Most people don't get them these days but he just kept going until he got it and he did without hesitation. He's better at the game than most.

He was REALLY good. lol I suck at that game sometimes, but he sure was good. I will say of the crackheads I knew growing up, none of them could have played that game while high so who knows.

I only spoke of tendencies by SOME in his race. The REST I explained by the short span, and GAME SHOWS! If I saw him as caucasion, I don't know. Ever see "malibu's most wanted"? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328099/plotsummary

He doesn't have eye contact, but it is VERY obvious. I think MOST autistics aren't so obvious, at least not at that age. The posture IS odd. One person here said "homosexual", I said like SOME blacks. As for the rest? It was a GAME SHOW!! !! !! ! Those are COMMON PROBLEMS!

I didn't mention the crack, and I ALSO never said he COULDN'T be autistic. I said it was HARD TO TELL, and could be explained.

Some people act crazy and HYPER excited, because they want to stay on the game, etc...
