You may be right. About 10 years ago I was asked to help mentor a 14 year old young man with Aspergers. He was a genius and could talk for hours on whatever subject he was currently obsessed with. But he had no social skills. He wanted desperately to be someone admired, but he couldn’t fit in. Alcoholic father like Ted.
Glad to know someone else has had experience with Aspergers. His parents being who they were probably never even thought to have him tested. He has been hated everywhere he’s lived. His room mate at Harvard hates him, the Senators all hate him, his children hate him. I’m beginning to feel sorry for the poor guy. He can’t help himself.
