I am not downplaying it, I just thought that most people have no idea what the Asperger syndrome is all about, so I explained it briefly. The story of this kid is nothing spectacular, it's the normal course a person with Asperger syndrome is expected to take.

The most important thing to note here is that the Asperger syndrome is not a bad thing and doesn't make a person any worse than "normal" people.

I have no idea why you would feel the need to explain any such thing in this thread...no one is pitying anyone or anything...I really do not want to get into this now, not in this thread. So let's just stop it here

Because it puts things in perspective. If you don't know what exactly the Asperger syndrome is, then the story of this young boy probably is touching for most people. That he suddenly starts to talk a lot and that even to people who doesn't know, like when he was invited to that community day. But he primarily talks about LBP, his new found hobby. This isn't really getting out of his shell, it falls in line with the normal development of a kid with Asperger syndrome.

really? do you even know people with that syndrome? do you know people who work with that kind of people. i think the main point here is that the kid wasnt communicative until the parents gave him the game and he started talking to the parents and people about the game.

the point is: the parents now have a child who communicates with them, even if it's just about his hobby, about that world he lives in he's talking TO them. and that's a big deal for those parents so i don't get your point. do you even have one? and people with asperger syndrome are not normal. they need help and people who dedicate themselves to them to help integrate them even if just a little.

little big planet was obviously a big deal in that family's life since it changed their routine.

your "contribution" was rather pointless
