It’s in the news today that a Pentagon think tank report in 2008 and 2011 identified Vladimir Putin as having Aspergers. People are writing me inquiring about my thoughts.

I am not an expert on Aspergers but from what I know about it, I will say Putin shows definite traits that are supportive of the theory presented.

In the video above, you can see he is emotional flat on all levels. He is matter-of-fact about his opinion, which clearly causes a contempt reaction from the reporter that you can’t miss. The reporter’s expression is so raw and real. It tells us how the reporter feels and its not in alignment with Putin.

People with Asperger have very black and white thinking, with few areas of gray, and this interview is a great example of it. Does Putin see the contradictory elements of the law passed on gay and lesbian rights? Do you think he sees the gray area that one affects the other?
