re: Too Legit - what ever happened to that guy?

She really is his Mom. This is his sister. He does have Aspergers, but we didn't get the diagnosis until well after he was out of college. Back then, not much was known about this disease. I wish I had gone to LSU so I could have watched out for him more. Mike is a total sweetheart, and know that his family loves him very much and he is well taken care of. Still a walking encyclopedia of sports info and HUGE LSU fan!

I am so happy to hear that. I had a math class with Mike at LSU and was amazed at his knack for numbers. I got to know him a little since we had class together and I saw him at so many sporting events. Even though he was a little "different" by some people's standards, it was easy to tell that he had a good heart and that he meant well. He was a huge women's basketball fan, too, and was at every game (back then, fans were scarce and he was very easy to spot when watching the Lady Tigers!)

This is very true. I know a couple of teachers who teach students with Aspergers, and I had never heard of it until very recently. Looking back, it makes sense to me that Mike has this based on what I now know about it.

I am glad to know he still knows his LSU sports! I still will never understand the obsession with Deion Sanders/MC Hammer though

Thanks for responding to the thread...knowing that Mike is doing well has truly made my day.
