I think Mitt has Aspergers Syndrome

109. I don't think it's a matter of getting roasted for your assessment

He might very well suffer from Asperger's. It's not a bad assessment from a lay person. After all, we are all trying to figure this guy out. After all, it's more than a little spooky that while the RW base will support and vote for him, they stand with us on the left in not liking him at all. So the question you raise, and answer with Asperger's, is not unreasonable.

But I would throw my hat in the ring with the sociopath assessment, or narcissistic personality disorder. In that world, only one thing counts: Mitt. Everyone else is a prop. It's not that he doesn't care about veterans, or the homeless, or even fellow down-on-their-luck republicans because they are veterans or homeless, or on the skids republicans. He doesn't care about them because they are not him. He is all that matters. He didn't care about his wife's horse and his performance in the Olympics. Because they have no impact on his life. His wife and kids assert that he is a great husband and father, but the stories they tell are as cardboard as he is. There is no there, there.

And now we're seeing more and more commentary about Mormonism, in which mendacity plays a central role. It seems his father was able to find a balance between Mormonism's "teachings" and life in the real world, Mitt has not. This is a frightening combination.
