Nathan plays video games \o/

I am glad he is enjoying his favourite games with his brother without being mocked by society. I also have a syndrome :) feel free to ask which one.
 
Sorry to hear man.

I'm no expert, but looking at the symptoms, it's weird that this is called a 'syndrome' It sounds so... derogatry, for lack of a better word, i guess.

I read somewhere that symptoms of Asperger's could be called "geekiness"

Would that mean that people with geeky tendancies have Asperger Syndrome?

Nope everyone with Aspergers show different tendencies some are extrovert some are introvert some are over-the-top and some aren't. So it is quite hard to diagnose since everyone shows different signs and personalities.

Sometimes people get misdiagnosed since they didn't do extensive tests and just looked at the common symptoms which are common in other syndromes also.

Some ADD people are Aspergers yet they were misdiagnosed.

Ive gone through the symptoms and I have some of these traits.
I also have a very twisted sense of humor and I tend to keep to myself.
In conversation I tend to keep finding myself speaking louder than I need to and sometimes I come over as being upset while Im actually in a good mood.

I also have narrow interests and I lack the ability to have empathy with people over most things.


Im glad theres a name for it :P

Alternatively, you could just be sociopathic.

...Like me.

It's not too bad. Come over for a visit some time and we will stare at each other in loathing disgust for an hour, while sipping coffee...

haha lol, that's actually hilarious. It nearly made me spit the food out my mouth and onto the monitor at work from a sudden outburst of laughter.

It can be frightening at times as well, note that! There was this time where myself and mr. Heunis here actually almost got into a fight/argument over something stupid :O. Must have been the sociopath-ism kicking in. :D
 
I'm glad you guys enjoy it as much as I do. His laughter is so contagious. It seems they have been uploading fewer and fewer videos as the months go by, but I hope that is only because Nathan's brother is at Uni...
