Depends on the individual. Unless a label makes everyone the same but I'd choose an aspie over our world control enthusiasts anyday.

What if the aspie president believed more in the constitution because of like of rules?

What if the aspie president wasn't great socially but had the right objectives?

What if the aspie president understood our economy and knew what was good for the long run?

What if the aspie president didn't stand up for others based on their hierarchy status even if they were criminals and held them accountable?

What if the aspie president stood for justice and didn't go around harrassing people that are poor?

What if the aspie president actually set limits for those who think they are above the laws because of their titles?

What if the aspie president encouraged responsibility for actions?

What if the aspie president gave power back to the people by reminding public schools that our tax dollars also help keep them open?

What if the aspie president once again opened people's eyes to how words should not prevail over actions? Shouldn't actions speak louder than words?

What if the aspie president was hyper focused on what America needs instead of trying to control everyone else in the world?

What if the aspie president didn't spend our tax dollars on alot of vacations because he couldn't stand not being in familiar surroundings.


Who would make a Better President? Klaatu or Gort?

I think an autistic president would only be as good as the rules of the country he served in. Most countries have law's that are meant to be interpreted loosely and i don't see this happening with someone on the spectrum.

Provide examples of laws that you think an autistic person would misunderstand and it would turn out to be bad.

Give examples of our fine outstanding leaders of society's rules and how bending the rules have done such a great noble cause for their society or have impacted the world in such a great way.

I don't buy into only one type of person is allowed because there are several bigoted reasons why people come up with statements as to why someone shouldn't be allowed based on superficial reasons, race, gender, sexual orientation, lack of charisma but yet fail to understand that perhaps being socially conditioned to accept a bold faced liar has become standard routine thus making it difficult to imagine what it would be like if someone actually told the truth and followed rules because if you see that now, it's those types of people that are shocking.

I'm surprised the youth of today aren't tapping into this new form of rebellion to be truthful and follow rules since it's such a trend to bend the rules and tell lies as long as your charming and can get away with it.

Are you actually asking that question looking for an actual answer or are you making a comparison? I am asking because I do get tired of responding to questions like this with a lengthy answer and it turns out the person was actually just making a statement pertaining to the topic not really looking for an answer but spotted a similarity.

And that's the way it should be, there must be no two meanings in a law, it must be clear and be followed. If an AS person is more likely to strictly follow the Constitution, then so be it.
