Are there really physical traits we can use for guessing such things?

I don't think there are any that people have labeled as fact, but some of us on here have noticed something about the eyes, that seems very aspie.

Without doing a search, I would guess that Born is the guy's last name and he's running for mayor. :D

It's a pun too. As in, "he's born to be mayor".

Born for MAyor

I'd have to see this guy talk before guessing. A lot of hyper NTs can be dressed to look Nerdy and Aspie as hell when they're running for office. I've seen family pictures of candidates and they all look like Androids from another century.

That picture looks like a totally over done photo retouch or a bad graphics job, probably done on a small budget.

At a first glance it does make him look just a little unusual in an autistic way, although I doubt this was the intention.

Mark Born is running for mayor in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. He's got a resume of Honors classes, and a CPR license 10 years ago. Why it's mentioned on the resume at 10 years ago, I have no idea, because I thought those things expire every 3 years or so. Anyways... His choice of words in his message makes me think he does not always say things in order for people to hear them. Aspie? I vote yes for Born.

I think it would be easier to tell if we had video.

I still don't see how you can tell, since those images are probably Photoshopped. Sure he looks geeky, but that doesn't mean Aspie. I don't see what you mean about the eyes either. I remember now that the president of the senior class 3 years ahead of me in high school, who was my neighbor, looked kind of like him, and he wasn't an Aspie.

He just looks creepy to me :P

But seriously, I can't say whether he's a Aspie or not from this picture

Usually theres no way of telling when it comes to physical appearances, although shes right, there does seem to be something about the eyes that give it away sometimes.
