After that trash talk fight he had with Frank on Monday I would say that Ian does not have Autism. He showed plenty of bravado even though Frank did own his punk ass.

Sorry mom...I was responding to your post awhile ago (about what CBS would air) and in the middle had to deal with collies barking frantically at turkeys...

Caprica... my nephew, who IS DIAGNOSED, would have wiped Frank up with his logic, ninja fighting skills, and savvy. He might be socially awkward, but he is a MASTER at manipulation, getting people to do what he wants (a la Tom Sayer and his fence) and defending himself against any slight real or imagined. He's socially awkward, not unintelligent or cowardly...

Ian shows signs that are common to both Asberger's and Autism, but that does not mean he has either. Many kids with ADD can show those symptoms as well, especially if they are in a stressful situation. Of course he may also be pretending so those around him think he is weak. Many people think that if you have any of these disorders, that you also have a lower intelligence level and that is far from fact. Even those who are severe and non verbal are extremely smart. None of us know and I would never label anyone in a game of lies and deceit, unless it came out of their mouths.

Good point, Kminfinity....I don't know where this idea that someone with autism would just hide in a corner or not be able to play this game expertly comes from

I don't know Cricket. Someone made a joke that he was going to the Big Bang Theory show and Frank was going too...What the true story is, I have no idea. Maybe someone else does. Thanks, Brendylou and both Nanas for answering. Hmm, I guess we'll find out in the next few days.

I agree Earthmother,, but are lies and deceit a medical condition?

See, OT poster arguing is all the fault of the failure to allow true 24/7 live feeds. ;-)

I agree with your point Cmoney. My grandson was misdiagnosed for many years as retarded. I"m so thankful that a wonderful and a very observant teacher understood autism and alerted my daughter to have him seen by specialists.

Many kids are misdiagnosed and it is the teachers and people who deal with them daily that pick up all the nuances. Thank heavens for parents and teachers and other advocates who hang in there and get fair treatment for those kids and adults

I know the answer to every single trivia question that they show. Can't decide if I actually remember it, or just have seen every question a zillion times.

The only thing is that Ian has been a student of the game and so intelligent I feel like he is putting on an act to get ac. But I don't know him personally so I can't say if he is on the spectrum or not. He just seems very different in the house then in the dr

So, so true Whammy. His teacher was a blessing for our family. 11 years ago my grandson wasn't verbal and couldn't look anyone in the eye except his dog. Now thanks to proper diagnosing and better funded programs, he has reached goals I dreamed possible. The day he called me Mimi was the happiest in my life.
