[QUOTE="Killer French Bread, post: 25258, member: 1101"] I don't think autism would help in naturally being good at a game necessarily. Maybe the guy has a certain mindset that lets him concentrate on a specific thing at once for a long period of time when others would get bored or have something better to do - I used to know an autistic guy who was really good at guitar, we started learning at about the same time but he got a lot better a lot quicker because he was a lot more single minded and obsessive about his interests than me. I don;t think he was more naturally talented, but I couldn't be bothered to sit there and practise for hours, whilst he happily would. His dedication was pretty extreme to say the least, way beyond what a normal person would invest in a hobby. I dunno if this is typical of autistic people, but from my one experience with knowing someone with it, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a similar situation for the donkey kong guy. [/QUOTE]
