Has anyone read the script for Django Unchained?

I've been following up on any news updates on it ever since I read QT's idea to make a movie that deals with slavery back when Inglourious Basterds first came out, and like many other of his fans, I'm like a 4 year old in anticipation of a trip to Disneyland for this movie. Anyway, to the point: As I've read the script and finally seen the trailer, I sense something about Waltz's character Dr. King Schultz that screams AS. It's probably mostly by his mannerisms and the way he talks, like the way he's so polite and courteous even when he would kill someone as part of completing a proposition, he just strikes me as someone who is unusually childlike and naive, the way he educated Django on the art of bounty hunting was just detailed in a way really reminiscent of aspie like interest and attention to detail, and just generally the way he took Django under his wing and bonded with him just seems striking of someone of that certain childlike essence, maybe this is why I'm so especially fascinated with him, because of the thought of him being this adorably fragile childlike man living back in the time when blacks were still being used as slaves. I have strong feeling that he may be the greatest character QT has ever written, and while I doubt that he consciously wrote him with AS in mind, I'm amazed it turned out the way it did. And I'm not totally sure if he has AS or not, maybe that was just a way of verbalizing my impression of him, but one thing for sure, he comes across to me as a strangely lovely man.
