#AlexBain started tying when he was 3 & started talking when he was 6. He typed a lot of gibberish on a borrowed electronic typewriter & then started typing "pumpedi" frequently. His only consistent gibberish & likely not gibberish. What is this "pumpedi"? #ActuallyAutistic 1/
Then I realized what he was typing was "Pumped!" Pumped! was either a TV show (I can find no reference now) or a segment of a TV show that was a kids version of a Sports Desk, co-hosted by a couple of young kids (10ish?) around 1990. @CBCPEI @CTVAtlantic 2/
Google is not telling me what show this was or was on. In 1990 we would only have had access to @CBCPEI & @CTVAtlantic so I'm guessing it was part of their Saturday or Sunday morning programming. Since it's part of #AlexBain's story I'd love to have evidence of it's existence 3/
