Is Trump autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

The lack of social filters and repetitive behaviors sure are there.

On the other hand, he got elected by identifying needs and wants of a group of people and did and still does know how to talk to them. Most of the experts are still befuddled about how he does it.

There is no way Trump has ASD. He's too charismatic to come off as someone who has ASD.

I would say there's very little chance that Trump is autistic.

He is very similar to some as*holes I've known in my life. They are usually business people who are only about making money, and believe that everybody other than those in their "inner circle" are just "stupid sheeple." (though they usually don't use the word "sheeple."

They point out the masses, say, on a line to take a bus, and think they are above those "masses." THEY (the people in the "inner circle") don't have to wait on line to get on a bus! Only those schmucks do!

I do not believe he is on the spectrum. If he qualifies for a diagnosis of anything it would probably be narcissistic personality disorder or sociopathy because he can be very charming.

He does have autistic traits he speaks his mind and puts his foot in it , though I am sure there are other disorders with these unsavoury traits that are unrelated to autism . He does have some sort egoism disorder , what sort of loser boasts about there iq ?

He's actually changed a lot since his younger days. He used to be a lot more eloquent.

Here is one theory as to what happened to him.
How Donald Trump Created Donald Trump

Always full of wonderful insight, I wonder how he would score on a 5 factor personality test? He make lack the necessary self knowledge to answer the test honestly and accurately. But definitely an antisocial and narcissistic personality.

I don't think the social ineptitude he's displayed is the same thing as autistic social impairment. When we make genuine social blunders, they usually blow up in our faces. But nothing has blown up in his face. He's encumbent and he knows he can get away with saying offensive things. I thought he was taking his chances when he tried to "comfort" widows of dead soldiers, given the huge reverence Americans have for their troops, but no, he's still there. My jaw dropped when somebody called him charismatic, but charisma is in the eye of the charismatised, so although he does and says things that I'd have thought would have wrecked his career by now, he's still there, so there must be a lot of people out there who like him. Of course we'll be shut of him one day, but even Nixon did pretty well after being removed from the top of the tree. I'll wager that Trump will never be exposed to the hardships that his victims have to endure. There might be a bit of egg on his face if he's removed, but he won't be seriously punished.

Wealthy people don't need to be so careful about showing qualities such as respect because there's not a lot we can do about it, being out-gunned and out-manoevred.

Generally, politicians aren't autistic. Politics requires skills most people with ASD's would find extremely uncomfortable.

Trump is just misinformed on lots of things.

Reagan was also misinformed on lots of things. But at least he KNEW it.

I would say he could have some sort of reading disorder--like dyslexia.

He's also a person who values the "code of the streets" more than the "code of intellect." This could be because he had trouble academically throughout his school career. I've known many people like this.

I think a person needs a certain degree of humility to read (a form of listening), so I don't think not reading is necessarily a sign of disability. If you think you already know it all, why bother to read?
