Yeah, I kind of thought he seemed gay myself. I think given his actions, that actually might be pertinent. Whether he is AS or not doesn't really seem to matter: there are many reasons for obsessions and delusions, such as schizophrenia. And since his bigotry doesn't seem to be aimed at AS folks, it shouldn't be an issue.
The blogs I saw this posted with AS suspicious comments (to varying degrees of import) included The Savage Love Blog (sex), Perez Hilton (gossip), and Ta-Nehisi Coates (race, culture, and history). Part of the reason I brought this up here is that most comments that mentioned AS seemed ignorant, if not exactly offensive. I am starting to wonder about what is reasonable in wider discussions about AS and AS people. I am not sure how to engage folks, but be productive about it.
