Joe Scarborough as I am sure many of you know is the host for the political program, Morning Joe. Even before I knew his son had the condition I have been wondering whether he may be a candidate for the spectrum. I say this as when I watch his show I notice him avoid eye contact, find it hard to reciprocate and at times talk endlessly even when it is clear he has lost his audience. So because of all that I kind of wonder whether he may have the condition what do all you think?

I hope, based on that possibility, that Trump is thought of as even more of an idiot than he is at present.
