I am not saying that he is autistic, I am just saying that autism related signs and symptoms can be misconstrued without more extensive observation from a professional.

Personally, it seems to me as if he has a wee bit of social anxiety.

Nothing is wrong with either scenario.

What ticked me off to no end at the inauguration was that NONE of his siblings appeared to give him any comfort or support when he looked bewildered and terrified.
