Telltale Games

I have Asperger's Syndrome. I've never smashed a TV, but I do get rather emotional over things most people don't and overreact to things other people are a bit upset about. It's not necessarily a behavioral disorder, but a social one in that it can be hard to understand and conform to social norms in terms of communication and 'proper' reactions to things.

That doesn't sound like a disorder. That just sounds like every tumblr user ever. Every computer-era teenager ever.

Come to think about it... I probably have Asperger's. And a lot of people I know and see sometimes probably do also.

He has the capacity for overblown emotional reactions and extremely violent irrational actions with little to no provocation, apparently. Honestly, if this kids parents aren't trying to get him help, then maybe you should. Who knows if he is capable of murdering innocent people, I'd rather not find out the hard way.

Does he only show aggression toward inanimate objects, or does he do this toward people too? Because I know someone with Aspergers who screamed and threw his calculator on the floor and stomped it to pieces when it didn't work properly, yet he is very kind and empathetic toward people, and I wouldn't worry about him being violent with others at all. There is so much about these things that people don't understand yet, and they try to lump everyone with a syndrome into one category, when they may be very different individuals.

hey yall, lets not talk about this, shall we? I think your friend would like to keep his own privacy about it and talking about him on a forum with strangers isnt really the best thing to do.. we all know what happened at conneticut was a tragedy, and we hope for the best for your friend, but its just not appropriate to talk about it on here.

There is no harm in discussing it here. Nobody knows his identity, so his privacy isn't compromised.
