Post Reply New Topic

wait who has in on there??
i havent been keeping up with the new episodes.
is it claire the geeky freshman girl???

No it's the boy with glasses who had black skin and curly hair. I forget his name.

Conner is his name.

He almost seemed to be implying that if he were NT it would be his fault for being different. I'm just saying.
I like how they depicted him as a smart guy and not just someone with problems.

The principle said "another one of you weirdos" as if the girls had it too. It was the black guy who was diagnosed with it too.

Well, I don't feel completely and utterly patronised at all...

I would have punched that principal after telling me to be more normal. That black girl needs a good smack too. Can they really make blonde girl go to detention?

Yeah that was a great episode. I don't have Asperger's but another ASD, and I wish I would have been diagnosed in high school, it could have saved me a great deal of frustration.

That part where he spit on a girl and pushed her was pretty stupid though. You don't spit on people and you don't hit girls. Even a person with Asperger's should know that.

But I do if they deserve it or I need to defend myself. But then I am a chick myself so it's probably no diffrent than two men getting into a fight.

Well, well, well - look at what has happened to Connor now; certainly not an enviable situation.
