Is President Bush Autistic?

[leveymg]

It seems to explain a lot, including Dubya's self-identification with a peculiarly talented basketball team manager.

Bush and J-Mac



Bush congratulates the basketball player with autistism-Jason McElwain (J-Mac) after his big game a few weeks ago.

Is it a photo-op for Bush because his poll numbers are so low, or because Dubya really identifies with Jason? Here's a link to the Autism Society of America. http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pagename=WhatisAutism

He shows a lot of the symptoms:
"Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults with autism typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities."
