Super Powers Aspies and Alphas
As I was sitting at my computer tinkering with Facebook today, I could hear my 13-year-old son cackling at something in the living room. He laughed so hard that he fell off the sofa.
Half out of breath, he comes running into the room. "Mom, Mom, you have got to see this!" He pointed to my Ipad that he held in his hand, and then stuck one of his earphones in my ear. "Mom...watch this...Gary," more cackling, "He's just like you!"
My son's new obsession is a show called Alphas?? I living in my bubble the way I do, have never heard of it. But according to TV.com, Alphas is a Syfy Original series where, "A group of everyday people who possess uncanny neurological abnormalities is working for a secret government agency. This elite group is able to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon cannot or will not solve."
Very cool, I thought, right up my alley. My son loves to find things that we can watch together. I don't know if any of you have seen this show; I haven't yet. The only thing I have seen so far is this clip that my son showed me. The one that had him cackling and falling on the floor because "Gary is like Mom." Enjoy.
I have been laughing all morning. I suppose that I am going to be watching Alphas now with Aspie Teen, who by the way, typical of him has been repeating this whole scene verbatim all morning.
