David Shuster, a TV news personality who has worked at CNN, FOX, and MSNBC, suggested that Mitt Romney has Asperger's syndrome during an interview on Stephanie Miller's radio show:
DAVID SHUSTER: Every time you hear Mitt Romney speak these days I keep thinking about I have an uncle who specializes in the field of Asperger's, and people with autism, and has been making the point to me for several years that there’s some very brilliant creative people who have Asperger's and he’s suggested perhaps that Mitt Romney has some sort of form of Asperger's because he’s so socially inept in terms of being able to connect with people.
