From Wiki:
Quote:
Michael Fitzgerald, an expert in autism spectrum disorders, concludes that Hitler suffered from, and met all the criteria of Asperger syndrome as documented by Hans Asperger.[8] As evidence of Asperger's Fitzgerald cites Hitler's poor sleep patterns, food fads, dislike of physical contact, inability to forge genuine friendships, and an emptiness in his human relations. His conversations in the Men’s Home in Vienna were really harangues and invited no reciprocity, for which he lacked this capacity. In Munich he was distant, self-contained, withdrawn and without friends. His comrades noted that he had no humanitarian feelings. He was obsessive and rarely made good or interesting company, except in the eyes of those who shared his obsessions or those in awe of, or dependent on him. He was single minded and inflexible. He spent a great deal of time with Albert Speer, examining architectural plans, and this remained a major focus of his life throughout. His other major interest was in the music of Wagner. His greatest interest, clearly, was in control over people and power over people.[9]
It is surprisingly well sourced as an article.
It's personally important to you that Hitler was autistic, isn't it? This is irritating the sh*t out of me right now.

I am merely stating the facts here. Though Hitler being autistic does make a brilliant argument for sorting out society, before we get another one.

Hell hitler topic
A psychopath/sociopath. Megalomaniac. Mass murderer.
And very much dead. Unfortunately, there is still evil in the world.

Of course; the society which made him in the first place.
You would absolve Hitler of all liability?
Interesting.

Interesting.I would absolve him of some of the liability - he recognised the broader problem and the problem was not of his making. Unfortunately his attempt at a solution was pretty disastrous and ill-conceived.

So you're saying he wasn't really such a bad guy, and that he was only trying to do what he thought was right.
Interesting.

I am saying that he was not totally evil - yes he did some evil things but he did in his own twisted way want to make the world a better place. I would say he was misguided for the most part - but he got one thing right, that being society needs sorting out.
