Greatest salesman says he can't be that great

I've noted Steve Kates' astonishing lack of self awareness many times.   I see that it is a trait shared even with his cult leader:


You ought to read the comments following, like these:

Just another aspect of his Aspergers

Trump has Aspergers? Idiocy. You are too ignorant to make such claims. Trump is nothing like an adult Aspie.

I'm completely over the Trump thing. He can sell, obviously. Continually attacking him is what he thrives on. Trump loves attention, is making verbal errors that point to some degree of cognitive impairment, hardly surprising given his age but his ignorance is another matter because Presidents need to be well informed. Whatever, stop whining about him. If the Dems had half a brain between them they would spend most of their energy articulating policies because at the end of the day the only thing that will seriously damage Trump is legal proceedings. On that front he is already toast because as soon as he leaves off NY will have him in the dock of that charity fiasco.

John, when you have someone in the family that has it you can comment

Let us see. does Trump have most of these
1) lack of social awarenes
2) unusual speech patterns
3) onesided conversation
4) ressitent to change
5) reduced empathy
6) easily overstimulated
7) lack of eye contact
8) limited interests


I could go on but do not have to.

I'm not interested in your personal experience. I have been in regular communication with an Aspie professor who has written two books on the subject and have read hundreds of studies ranging from the molecular to behavioral level. Your observations of Trump as just plain wrong.

Trump has excellent social awareness, how else can he garner so much of the vote?

There is nothing wrong with his eye contact.

Speech patterns vary widely among autists. "Unusual" is so vague as to be a meaningless description.

Aspies are often known to have remarkable memories. Trump has a bad memory.
Aspies are known to develop intense interests in specific subjects. Trump shows no such intensity.

Standing in front of 50,000 people is something that would horrify many Aspies. Trump loves it. He loves that stimulation.

not all Aspies have call the same symptoms.

He has all the above 'symptoms' i wrote about.

by the way he has awful eye contact which you would know if you read anything about him.

you saying he has excellent self awareness says it all. you must be the only person who has ever said that

I wrote social awareness. He must have excellent social awareness because he can consistently pull huge crowds, won an election out of the blue, and as a business person social awareness is a vital talent.

What about all the other symptoms of ASD like phobias, avoiding social situations, sensitivity to specific sound is common(misophonia), gut issues, anxiety, depression?

The problem is that there are so many people like you who make armchair diagnoses because you don't realise who difficult it is to diagnose a behavioral disorder. Apparently in these days everyone who isn't normal is an Aspie of some sort. Instead of relying on your intuition based on your personal experience trying doing some homework.
