i have neither the expertise nor sufficient data to make a diagnosis, but a tendency to make blunt remarks is a notorious symptom of asperger’s syndrome (AS). on the other hand, an individual with AS might be too self-absorbed to portray himself as "interested in knowing about others."
lest i offend anyone, e.g. those partial to the views of dr. thomas szasz, i am in no way either asserting or denying the medical validity of a diagnosis of AS.
