Disabled boy steals car, flies to CA

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

I I read the title wondering how he got the car to fly.

Damnit!! I was told Harry Potter was fictonal!! FICTIONALLLL!!!!

OT: Seems like a rather odd thing to happen... wonder if he got Swine Flu during the flight...

Y'see, this is why we drive manuals in Europe...

Not that hard. The first time I drove a car was when I was 14, and I had little problems at first, but... Hey, maybe he'd be a genius and pass the exam at the age of 13? Who knows.

If he can do that they should probably reconsider calling him disabled.

Aw, I was thinking the same thing Max was thinking. If the child were actually disabled (asperger's isn't really a disability, just hampers some of the stupider, more arbitrary social nuances. I would know as I have it), I would give him an award for awesomeness.

Still, beyond what I did as a 13-year old.

Edit: Am I the only one who thinks this resembles The Wizard? An autistic boy (not seriously autistic, as I mentioned) going on a journey to California? Is their a gaming tournament their he's trying to be in? A smug boy with a power glove?

Thinking the same thing.

Bloody cheat

Edit: Asperger's doesn't exactly make him disabled, either.

just saying what MSN.com said

Hmm... maybe I should look at MSN more for witty titles, only to never actually read their articles.

Brandon Armstrong, your dream has finally come true!

Oh wait, there wasn't any flying cars involved. Oh well.

How does ANYBODY get on a plane without showing a passport or ID of some kind?

Asperger's Syndrome, a disability? I'm offended!

 

[blindey]

Wow this sounds exactly like homeward bound... Kind of

They should have really said whether or not he had a mild form of the syndrome or not because i looked it up just to make sure i was right about which disease and yep clumsiness definitely a symptome.

Ok? What's your point to be honest..? Doesn't matter if it's a mild or major form. Asperger's = still responsible for his actions, and this had nothing to do with his disorder

Asperger's Syndrome, a disability? I'm offended!

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. (People actually think autism (and I've seen down syndrome with that too, the same opinion) aren't interfering with the normal goings on. So if you're not, mkay. If you are - why do you think that?

In regards to the story, I guess it would have an influence partially to a motivation, and also you know, he's 13. 13 year olds don't have a lot of common sense/judgement/inhibition to begin with. The frontal lobes uh leave something to be desired. :3

Also "His father, Dean Weaver, would like to know how a 13-year-old with no passport, driver's license or photo ID was able to buy a ticket and get past airport security."

QFT^

lol... that would have been awsome. "I love the power glove; its so bad" correct me if i got that quote wrong.

I put the clumsiness on there specifically to try and figure out how he was able to drive. There are people with aspergers that can hardly hold a pencil and write much less keep a car going in at least a straight line. Also social awkwardness prevents some people with the disease from speaking to almost anyone outside their family and close family friends. How would he work up the ability to talk to the guards and attendants. I don't really think he broke any laws as long as his dad doesn't charge his 13 year old autistic son with grand theft auto, possibly driving without a license and underage, but as long as nothing is damaged a court wouldn't do anything but tell the parents to be more careful. The only consequence of this is that the kid might get to see his mom a little more.
