Eduardo-Cancer or Autism?

Eduardo thinks like a four-year-old, and if you have ever tried to reason with a four-year-old about something like say...a monster in the closet, you would know what I mean. A lot of old people get like this, too; my grandmother would always think of the most horrific things that could happen to me if I slipped up and told her that I was driving to a dog show or something four hours away. It's their way of getting others to go along with them and see things their way. Eduardo was embarrassed about being afraid of the "Whizbee", so he kept elaborating on things so that the others would hopefully see his point in the alleged dangers in mundane things. Nothing to do with autism or cancer at all.

I don't think only 4-year-olds do that. And then I don't mean Ed. Even I can do it know sometimes when I'm afraid of stuff (like I have fear of being alone *blush* yeah I can't help it) but thereafter I just think 'Nah, that couldn't happen.'. But still, I do agree with you.

Oh yeah, that's impossible in Vbulletin. A mod should do it then.

As requested, "Paranoia" has been added as an option. No charge.

Paranoia.

No offense but as much as I support people's creativity into importing different ideas and aspects of RL into this show to create conversations, but I think this one is just plain off kilter and it doesn't make a dam bit of sense to me.

Being freaky by nature doesn't mean cancer or that your autistic. Eduardo's paranoid (which is what he is) attitude is apart of his personality and no biological or genetical disorder can always explain why we act the way we are.

I also don't think imaginary friends get half the stuff we do like austim or cancer. Because if that's the case, where does it end? Parkinson's disease, shcitzophrenia, diabetes? I mean I think this is going into territory that has nothing to do with Foster's in general.

Also, I actually have a younger girl cousin who is severely autisic and she does NOTHING like what Eduardo is acting like.

This thread disgusts me, and to be pretty frank I'm pretty angry at this. Autism? Cancer? What the heck is wrong with you? Eduardo has NEITHER. He's the image of innocence, NOT some disease which affects people world wide with (most times) devastating effects!

I watched my uncle, my cousin, and my mum's best friend die of cancer and none of them did anything like Eduardo. They remained smart, clever, everything.

I want this thread gone.

Paranoia. I myself have a form of autism (Asperger's) and my mother had breast cancer. Eduardo has no symptoms along either of those lines.

Where the heck did you get the idea that Eduardo had cancer or autism? I have to wonder if you even know what either of those are...

Indeedio... I liked that article.

I agree that this is totally out of whack- but it dosn't need to be deleted.

Though, seriuosly, cancer?

[LosDosEduardos]

I doubt he has cancer as well. But you know what they say: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." I just realized just now, and knew that the Wikipedia article about Ed having cancer was just a hoax. I'm glad that it was edited out. I think now that he's paranoid.

Yeah.

NEVER BELIEVE A WORD ON WIKIPEDIA.

It took me a while to learn that...
