Aspies, Gamers, welcome to the Real World
I joined an animation class at the Community College. We introduced ourselves.

Lots of gamers who could barely speak up or even look up. One guy who introduced himself as being ADHD and it seemed a bit more going on than that.

By the end of class, people were laughing over the same 11 seconds of dialogue presented for an animation contest; happened to be The Three Stooges.

By then, some of the gamer boys were joking around with me and the ADHD boy was asking me a question as he left. I don't know if he did because I was "safe" or looked like his mom or was closest to the door....

What a joy and a hoot it will be to collaborate with these (mostly boys) on a class film and see them peek out of their shells :hide: :loveya:

5. Somebody who plays lots of video games. Just think "corporate executives", with the difference
that it's about hitting a high score in a shoot-'em-up rather than the number of dollars one can collect via cheating, swindling, or misleading others.


Quite a few deleted responses to this thread too. Weird...
