Does this guy have Asperger's?

If you can even stand to watch it – it is the British Jerry Springer show, it looks like. In the comments, people opine that the alleged father of the child has Asperger’s syndrome or is otherwise not neurotypical. Considering the source (youtube comments) I thought perhaps I should consider a different source. He seems like a huge asshole and almost sociopathic to me…but Asperger’s?

Impossible to tell, he could have stage fright(he could have taken drugs to control stage fright) could be a lot of things. You’d need to take a history and make sure he isn’t under stress etc.

I think he’s just amazingly stupid. With touches of the sociopath.

Basically you know obviously.

I can’t believe that he managed to have sex with anyone at all, let alone two people. However from the state of the woman I’m guessing a certain… lack of discernment.

One can only hope that the poor child has her parents’ IQ summed rather than averaged.

‘Neurotypical?’ What the hell does that mean?

Not having an autistic spectrum disorder

A person who is neurotypical is someone with an average brain. They don’t have autism, or other developmental disorders, or a subnormal IQ.

The guy in the video seems like an average jerk, IMHO.

At the beginning of the video we get a really good closeup of his face. Apparently just from that, one can have a good idea if a person is autistic.

Interesting responses, thanks.** jjimm** had same impression I did. Yes, one would hope the child turns out nothing like him…

Are these differences more diagnostic in children than in adults?

Don’t know. Here is the source:
