In reply to the discussion: I think Mitt has Aspergers Syndrome [View all]Heather MC
(8,084 posts)if he is he didn't get the help your child is getting. And my son has gotten. As a mother it was not easy for me to look at my gorgeous 2 year old and think something's not right. but I had to except that something wasn't right and my son needed additional help.
I think that if Mitt Romney has Aspergers syndrome he never got help for it because, they just couldn't face that 1 of their sons had a problem. I don't think that reflects negatively upon your child in anyway. or anybody else's child who gets help for Aspergers syndrome.
I think he has learned over the years to attempt to compensate for his issues, that is why he has become the man he has to become today. that is why a lot of people think what's wrong with him. Or say, why can't he connect. Even his own son said something to the effect of dad may not be able to empathize with you but he can solve the problem. not a direct quote.
I am not the first person to say it. and I know I won't be the last. I hope that if you hear this spoken of again you will not feel compelled 2 related it to your child in anyway. I am not saying this to try to politically insult Mitt Romney. as I said I was just trying to answer a question that popped up in my head "what is wrong with Mitt?"
