This is why I love this guy
“And heres an insight I’ve had for many years… I think some of the guys in the community… 15-20%… have Aspergers syndrome. Do you know what Aspergers is? It’s high functioning autism, and they literally cannot read other peoples emotional expressions. If you see them, they look creepy because they’re always staring at the person’s face. It’s because they’re trying to read - I call it emotional lip reading. You know how deaf people have to read lips? They’re trying to read the persons social uhm facial expressions so they can pick up on what that person is feeling, because they don’t have that normal skill. Maybe their mirror neurons aren’t working… I don’t know, I don’t know enough about the neurobiology of how it works. So I think about 15, as high as 20%, just don’t have those brain circuits. They can be taught, but I think they’re high functioning Asperger.”
Moments later, he explains in correcting the interviewer that this is not a mental illness but a brain condition. The guy knows his shit. And I totally agree with what he’s saying.
