Putin's Brain
A 2008 Pentagon study has suggested that Vladimir Putin may suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. Is that anything to worry about?
Re: Putin's Brain
Milder forms of autism are certainly less worrisome then personality disorders.

True, but an Asperger's patient would have issues with interpersonal communication and might also have trouble seeing the big picture. Two very, very serious shortcomings in a world leader.

Hmm, I'll have to start observing him more to see if this is true. I can easily see any number of Bond villains as having Asperger's.Reub wrote: A 2008 Pentagon study has suggested that Vladimir Putin may suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. Is that anything to worry about?
