Does Messi really have autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you think worlds best soccer player Lionel Messi really has autism or is that just because of false rumours?

Interestingly people have said in the past that I bear a resemblance to him not that it means anything though......

Go and ask her.

Lol for a minute I thought you were talking about Messi the Puma...from youtube.

that said I think he may be named after that soccer player.

I don't see how it would affect his football negatively.

If he said he was dyspraxic, I'd doubt that.

If he isn't dyspraxic and is autistic, maybe he's obsessed with training and that's why he's so good?

I don't armchair diagnose celebrities.

I don't know and I don't care.

It is possible if ASD is present in the right paradigm for the condition to enhance a person's aptitude to be an elite athlete.

I think that I have the IQ, visual cortex, motor cortex development to give me a good aptitude for some sports, such as martial arts.

What works against me is that i suffer from testosterone deficiency, and so my wings have been clipped,
as the condition does have a massive impact on all areas of my life, especially as the doctors won't give me
the amount of testosterone i need to function properly.

I think that it is possible for people with ASD may need more testosterone than normal people in order to function,
that may be related to the amount of extra stress we suffer from having sensory abnormalities.

Aren't aspies typically bad at competitive sports? I know what people are like, they are probably just enjoying making him feel bad.
