Something worth noting is that he memorized the data of all vehicles and weapons used in WW1 and used to impress people with this knowledge.

COME ON! WHO would ask such a thing? Hitler did not do ANYTHING autistic. He almost LOVED being around people. He apparently wasn't shy or acting like it. He acted enough like a leader that the NAZIs were OK with having him as their leader. They even openly called him such! "Der Fuerer"="The leader". So he flunks the basic demeaner and socological components. As for stimming? The shaking hand was parkinsons. The action is RARE with autistic people, but THE tell tale sign with parkinsons. He was also STUPID! Hilter was probably the MOST responsible person for the defeat of Germany in WWII!

So WHAT argument can you have for him being autistic?

Hitler was just a stupid, angry, arrogant person that was angry at a particular group, and found a lot of support in the lower class during one of the worst depressions in history.

Interesting. But there are a lot of people
who are fascinated by such things; I wouldn't
draw any conclusions from these.

I think it's more likely that he was schizophrenic than autistic. A lot of the outward signs (pacing rocking) can show up in either.

Keep in mind that the person who made this thread was a troll/spammer.

Um... I really don't think pacing has anything to do with Hitler being autistic. Think about it: If you were the leader of a superpower in the making, if you had to continuously think about the best military plan to ensure success, if you had to keep all your political allies and opponents in check, if you had certain death waiting for you at failures end; wouldn't YOU be a little stressed out too.

There are two ant jewish people who are speculated to be autistic, Hitler and Bobby Fishter, who is next on the List Torquemada? Pope Paul IV? Grand Master Pierre d'Aubusson? or could it be St Vincent Ferrer?

Hitler, autistic? I think that's a resounding no. He was extremely dishonest and he defends it. I recall he once claimed "If you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it". His sole purpose in life was to manipulate the masses in order to feed his ego and carry out his campaign of hate. I don't think an autistic person would be capable of manipulation to that degree.

If you want to look for an autistic villain, the closest real person I can think of is Ted Kaczynski (the unabomber). That guy might have been on the autism spectrum IMO.

I completely agree. He lived in a tiny cabin in the woods, a textbook hermit. He was so unused to technology he had to label the bits he put together to make a bomb. He used a typewriter for his manifesto. He LOOKED like a crazy hermit when they arrested him. Strangest of all, he reportedly said that he doesn't mind his prison cell, in the SuperMax prison.

Hitler was a charismatic speaker, loved entertaining his audience, and put his country and ideology first, whereas most autistics, like myself, put their routines first. If you look at Thomas Jefferson, who I think is one of the very few examples of a possibly autistic president/leader of a country, he was a terrible public speaker, had little concern for his appearance (unlike the always neat and tidy looking Hitler) and became obsessed with his routines and designing Monticello, pretty much the opposite of Hitler.

Not that I have any idea about Hitler being autistic, but being a public speaker and putting ones routines later does not mean that someone is not one the spectrum. I certainly pass off as an NT when I cba, not that I at all enjoy it, but I manage it.
