Anyone familiar with Noonan Syndrome? I am not a doctor so I shouldn't diagnose Krasnov

[PurgedVoter]

I had to look at a picture of Krasnov, for a few minutes, but I think he matches the description for facial features.
It would explain his brain development and his hands. But I am not qualified to do more than call attention to the possibility.

I was looking at the picture on this DU discussion, https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220358371
when I compared my hand size to my own face and realized that held close to my face, my hand covers most of my head. Even with his hand closer to the camera his hand is not big compared to his head.

Then I looked up possible genetic disorders. When I looked at the facial characteristics of Noonan, it sure seemed like a match.

1. Interesting!

Will have to do some research on this. One thing that popped out at me when I googled it is "heart problems." One can only hope!

2. Interesting NIH article on Noonan and personality disorders

Results
On the Validity Scales, patients with NS showed significantly higher scores on F-r, FBS-r and RBS-r than controls, reflecting a tendency to report more psychological, cognitive and somatic complaints (see Table 2). Significantly higher scores were found on the H-O scale Emotional/Internalizing Dysfunction (EID) and the RC scale Demoralization (RCd) in patients with NS compared with controls (see Table 3). No significant differences were found regarding the Interpersonal scales, although Family Problems (FML) showed a medium effect size. Patients with NS showed significantly higher scores than controls on the PSY-5 scale Introversion/Low Positive Emotionality (INTR) and the effect was medium-sized. The differences on Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism (NEGE) were not significant, but showed a medium effect size (see Table 4).

4. I wonder if he was ever diagnosed?

We wouldn't have been told, but his bragging about passing cognitive tests might be an indication of his past diagnosis. Back when he went to school, going to a military school was possible indication that a boy had a few issues.

7. No idea.

Why not write to Mary Trump & ask? She is a psychologist & the thought mihht not have ocvurred to her. She loathes him, btw

I've not resd her book, but I've heard i F's good.

Yes, I've read he was a virtually uncontrollable bully, do off to military school.

Interesting find, btw! I'd never heard of this dx

3. Not at all likely

You’re focusing on one or two symptoms or traits that Trump might have, and ignoring a multitude of symptoms he definitely does NOT have.

5. Doubtful. He doesn't seem have most of the described traits

except for small hands. The syndrome typically causes children not to grow normally - but although he's clearly not 6'3" as he claims, he's taller than average. What's wrong with him is that he's a narcissist, a psychopath and an all-around asshole.

6. Musk's stubby arms are odd like Lump's tiny hands

8. One aspect out of several others. Therefore, not enough evidence.

Nevertheless, a worthwhile thread on debunking.

Back to real work.

9. I thought that was where you try to hit a golf ball and people yell "Noonan" at you.
