OH SNAP he faking autism

Answer 20

that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re faking autism. autism and dyslexia are similar in some ways. it’s pretty common for most people with autism to also have dyslexia

Answer 21

isn’t this problem 10^5 not 105?

Answer 22

They are not pretending to have autism. Why would he fake it? They made the sentence out themselves and they didn't ask for more. Also autism can make it hard to write.
