[QUOTE="Jody, post: 569260, member: 8787"] I also saw on one of the news shows that a teenager that went to school with him, said he was extremely quiet but that no one picked on him, if they did no one saw it. I guess he always carried a briefcase to class, which of course probably caused some ridicule but she said honeslty that no one openly teased him or bullied him the year she sat behind him. She didn't recognize his name until someone said that he was the kid with the briefcase. Then she knew who he was. I have bi-polar and I hate when the media and public say that a person is bi-polar because they do something off, or isn't in the best of moods. I don't like that generalization. And I in no way believe anyone with autism or aspbergers, could do what this kid did, with only that diagnosis.
