Romney could be somewhere on the autism spectrum, or he could just be an ass. Just because one is autistic doesn't automatically mean that one is kind and loving. I've met a number of autistic people who are just plain evil.

But no matter what is up with Romney, yes, he is elitist.

A self-centered, selfish, greedy, mendacious, economic aristocrat who has absorbed the lessons taught by elite, private educational institutions, reinforced by similar people in the business world and his social class.

There's nothing medical about it.

Are you a trained psychologist that you can make a diagnosis without even meeting somebody? Stop being foolish.

I agree with your entire description about Romney, but that doesn't negate the possibility that he could be somewhere on the autism spectrum.

Psychology is a pseudo-science, most psychologists aren't medical doctors.

People who know nothing about Autism and autistic traits shouldn't throw that term around...it's insulting.

And whatever it is, Ivory Soap ain't washing it off.

married or is seen dating women. But I just hear it, I don't know if it is true.

Probably just as well.

Actually it just doesn't bear thinking about - Can you imagine W in ass-less chaps?

Wasn't Karl rove photographed at a gay bar in NYC? I SWEAR

Brain bleach now!

Euuwwww!

He's the most caring, loving little boy in the whole wide world....

Romney is just an ass.

It's not okay to call Obama retard and it's not okay to call Romney autistic.

She is the sweetest, loving nonverbal child. Since her diagnosis, I've spent hours researching ASD.
Romney seems narcissistic to me but I'm no dr. He is nothing like my daughter!

He needs to go to assaholic's anonymous

No, he doesn't have Autism, or Aspergers. He is a cold hearted rich asshole who has made obscene amounts of money on other people's misery. That is what he is. There is no developmental disability or mental illness that will let him off the hook. He is a horrible human being pure and simple. And yes, my daughter has Aspergers.

I agree totally. Using autism as an insult is just wrong. Romney is just an asshole. It might help some to find a convenient label for his dick-ish behavior, but that doesn't make it okay.

God knows we knew all about Reagan's colon polyps, Cheney's heart condition and Clinton's arteries.

and I tell you there is something strange about Willard. I am inclined to think he is a narcissistic sociopath, but there's something a little spectrumy about him on top of that. His consistent and weirdly inappropriate use of language is the tip-off for me. There could well be a touch of Asperger's in the mix. He's just plain "off key" too often for me to think otherwise. I can be the same way in certain situations.

Viz: “Tomorrow, we begin a new tomorrow. Tomorrow, we begin a better tomorrow. This nation is going to begin to change for the better tomorrow,” he told the crowd of over 3,000 people.

He has all the classic signs of antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

He literally has no conscience and no empathy. He thinks people are things for him to use to get his way.

I don't see him having Aspergers or anything in the autism spectrum.

Of course, one can't diagnose on the Internet - but people with autism generally are honest to a fault; have difficulty in lying and deceiving; in manipulating others; in changing their views or behaviour to curry favour. With an autistic individual, to an extreme degree, 'what you see is what you get'. Romney seems to be at the opposite extreme of personality - deceitful; a chronic manipulator; a chameleon, who sells his soul to the highest bidder or perhaps in a sense has no soul of his own.

It is very insulting to people with autism to compare Romney with them!

And they're a whole lot more connected to the real world than rMoney ever will be.

He has a certain evil glint in his eye. He reminds me of actor Peter Stormare who played Satan in the movie Constantine.

Brilliant. I do think he has a black heart.
