For clarification this is a joke.... we don't Need another Donald Trump situation... Please

@@visualsound2489 What's wrong with somebody who loves their country?

You know what man it is a mis fortune that he went through that, but its the things we go through in life that shape us into who we are. He probably would have never been the Rodney we all know and love had he not gone through such adversity.

Autism.

Rodney said it himself he is so compulsive when he gets focused on something that he is caught in a tunnel vision moment so when you eat sleep and breathe it you get good I can see it in myself with my issues with bipolar and like many skating a way to get into my own world since there was no wrong way to do it or a team to fight if you screwed up obviously having bipolar I can vibe with Rodney and not wanting to be around people a lot since I don't fit in either

I am 40 and recently realized I’m autistic. I punched myself in the head until about the age of 30 because it would get my head out of the autistic spirals. I figured out less painful ways to do it. But it always works

Facts

Many autistic people are. David Byrne, Dan Aykroyd, Anthony Hopkins, Tim Burton...oh yeah, and Albert freaking Einstein. It's a hugely misunderstood thing because of fictional bullshit like Rain Man and exploitative TV shows, we just have different things that bring us internal joy, and socializing is not a priority. I didn't speak to anyone outside of my family until I was 6, and I'm still a man of few words if I have nothing to say, but I'll talk forever if I'm passionate about something. I just wish I was good at something like Rodney, I've just lived my life as the weird little brother.

rodeny mullen will never dies hes forever in our hearts

honestly i can relate to what your saying as a use to be sponsored skateboarder i was dropped out for not being good enough it was heartbreaking but i needed to understand that its also competition, others probably would get farther and do greater things then what i would be able to do. many skateboarders simply quit because progression isn't fast enough. this never got to me though because i always simply skated for the feel of it. it was heartbreaking because in the first place i started because i dreamed of becoming a pro. but now i only skate for me because skating for the expectations of others was a buzz kill that made me wanna quit i just wanted to skate the way i wanted. not what my sponsors wanted.

Well, he could still be a successful mathematician, physicist like Einstein and Newton. He likes math and physics as he said.

Both Rodney and Tony Hawk played a huge part of skating alive. Tony’s dad is honestly the main reason competitive skating became what it is today.
