[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 522474, member: 8831"] yea but step (not to argue with you, lol), i have never [I]once[/I] gotten the impression from you that jett is so rigidly focused on star wars or halo that its all there is....i know lots can be lost in the internet world, but i just dont get that vibe about jett--in fact, i think hes one of the more flexible kids in this group with the maybe Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis...from things you've said about him i dont doubt he has a toe in the pond, but his love of video games leans more toward ttdom, Know what I mean?? i think its a slippery slope to assume someone who is passionate about something automatically qualifies them as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)....it may be one of multitude of reasons to consider it, but certainly a love of video games or anime or whatever alone isnt enough to do so....like i said, a repetitive interest kind of permeates everything...its just kind of [I]more[/I]. (and what its definitely not is just the fact that moms eyeballs are rolling back in her head due to boredom from whatever boring minutia they are excitedly talking about--someone else who is just as passionate might find it a fascinating factiod--its more when they are so stuck you cant get them off it...until the next obsession comes along.) maybe i'm not articulating this very well....its the first day of spring break and i'm already beyond frazzled :smile: [/QUOTE]
