when watching these two play sports or do interviews i see so many of my own traits in them. does anyone else feel that way. laroche is public about adhd but i feel he and eli are both aspies as well. soft spoken not very wordy...of course im a fan of both athletes...not so much their teams tho!! !

this is something that seems pretty much obvious kinda wondering others opinions

Eli is kind of goofy. You can tell he has lived in his brother's shadow. I don't think I've ever seen an Adam Laroche interview.
Ricky Williams used to seem aspieish to me. I recall he wouldn't take off his helmet to give an interview and has been known for his weird behavior.

I met Eli a few times, he's a total prick. He ignores the fans in training camp unlike other Giants and I even have his jersey.

crazy you say that im watching a espn classic special right now on ricky williams and started thinking the same thing, the more i see him speak the more i respect him. he seems distant to people in his life much the way i am! also has his own way of thinking without being influenced by the opinions of others.

I could understand it if he wasn't a public figure. I know Ricky Williams has severe social anxiety, I could see some of that with Eli though I think pressure gets to him.

It seems like a lot of pro athletes have been more public with their anxiety disorders in recent years. Ricky Williams, Joey Votto, Dontrelle Willis, Hong Chi Kuo, Zack Greinke, I know I'm missing more are just some players who have missed time during seasons due to their disorders.
