Dennis Rodman Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Commenting on Dennis Rodman's detachment from the rehabilitation process, Pinsky said Rodman was "hyper-focused in some ways, and in others, completely blank", and observed that Rodman didn't comprehend what the other patients were experiencing, or how they perceived him. Pinsky concluded Rodman may have Asperger's syndrome, a diagnosis with which a colleague from UCLA Medical Center concurred.

He was certainly focused on rebounding in his NBA days.

And on being controversial off the court.

I don't see him going for a formal diagnosis. Certainly there is plenty in his history to suggest that he might be ASD.

Definitely selectively hyper-focused & socially obtuse
