Now about the above points.....Carter, the child in question, was at the same Con last year, and I got to meet and speak extensively with his parents. I did the same this year. Carter suffers from a medical disorder called Asperger's disease, a type of autism. He is doing extremely well, and his parents are devoted to making his life as "normal" as they can. I found him to be delightful, as did the stars. He was much better behaved this year, and provided many light hearted and funny moments.
Ah, yes, I know about Asperger's. I've seen some kids with it and I'm glad to hear he's doing well as I've seen some who haven't, and it's sad.
As for the "other" guest (the small, very strange blonde, who asked some very, um, controversial and decidedly "different" questions, such as asking MS how he would like to die in RL)......was that really a female? A group of us there couldn't decide on the person's gender or age. Comments very welcome.....please.
Huh? Die in real life? Did I read that right? Geez, I'm starting to think the old 'boxers or briefs' questions are safe now! And what witty remark did MS give back in reply is what I want to know, besides his jaw dropping open wide enough to let a 747 land inside!
