    Autistic?

    You haven't a clue of what autism entails if you think that this lad has it.

    Possible latent homosexuality though.

    (Assuming this isn't a set-up, which a strongly suspect)

    I don't know. I've seen it before and didn't think it was funny. I found it disturbing. I think it's real but I think the kid is really disturbed. The kid with the camera, however, is a right toerag

    There's no known cure for ASDs, so to say there are ways back from it wouldn't strictly be right. There have been cases of recovery however. In saying that, this guy just seems to have very deep-seated internal conflicts.

    I've seen the others and thought that they were real but the OP just doesn't look right.

    Likewise with the one where he beats up his new truck with a baseball bat, the dad is standing there telling him not, but doesn't stop him doing it (despite being twice the lad's size!).

    Aye, I felt a bit put off as well. The lad clearly has a lot of issues.

    It may well be a fake, but who cares? It's gas.

    Jesus christ there's an entire youtube channel of this guy freaking out over various things. Must have mental health issues.

    Or else it's fake.

    It's not exactly rare for some people (especially children) with autism to be really sensitive to physical touch.

    Looks like angsty teen with a heavy mix of anger problems to me. Knew a few people like that, they've grown up now, thank god.

    I work professionally with people with learning difficulties and i would put a year's wages on the fact he has Asperger's syndrome which is a high-fuctioning form of Autism. And if i'm right, that video is downright exploitative.

    Those videos are funny but fake.

    It started out as a prank, and they've done many, but after a while the set up scenarios give it away. Check out one where he trashes a car, or says lines like "I HATE distractions" in the orig video, for comic effect.

    It's just two kids goofing around.

    Also, I don't know any teacher who wasn't in on a gag who would repeatedly tell a student to leave but continue the different, and very brief, comediec exercises, like from the wall to rolling backwards into a freak out pit, and allow a kid to use "gay" and "fag" whilst she giggles along.

    They're definitely fake, the mother confirmed it a while ago.
