The early Hitler did have some characteristics that could be regarded as Aspergian, if I understand this correctly:
He did not have friends.
He did not have women. (Obviously he visited some prostitute that gave him syphilis, but that is not the same as a relationship.)
He refused to eat some types of food.
He did not have a job.
(His appearance was rather shabby, being dirty and unkempt and malnourished and wearing rags, but I am not sure about this point.)

Later, during world war one, he had an obsession with a particular topic (Germany, in a political sense).

Well, ALL famous dead people "diagnosed" with AS are diagnosed by reasons like that...

its entirely possible hitler didn't have anything "wrong" with him other than a very extreme outlook, but people just don't want to accept that someone normal just like them could be responsible for such horrific things, so there have to be excuses and reasons for showing him to be a psychotic monster
