Is Kamala Harris autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

With Kamala's poor spontaneous communication skills and repetitive speech I wonder if she's autistic? I read that her daughter is autistic and has epilepsy. Would be great to see Kamala promote Neurodiversity understanding so that we are more respected?

I have no idea. I can't even picture her face. I don't think I've seen her do or say anything since before Biden was elected, although admittedly I don't do media. She could be, just like most people could be without us knowing.

If she is, or if she has an autistic child, I'd hope she was already using her position as VP to enact change for NDs.

Has that happened?

Oh, golly!

Yet another celebrity suspected of being autistic.

You might think that being autistic means being intelligent, well-educated, successful, popular, and wealthy.

I mean . . . just look at how many people with autism on this very website are presumptive presidential candidates!

My, my . . . will wonders never cease?

Never thought about it ...I guess it's a question to ponder. Of course those couple traits don't autism a confirmation make

In 2017 Kamala Harris in support of the Affordable Care Act retweeted a tweet from a mother whose daughter is autistic and epileptic.

Kamala has an adult stepson and an adult stepdaughter.

Suuure why not? after all, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are all autistic as well. So were Hitler and Vlad the Impaler and Saddam Hussein.

I wish I could self-induce a coma for the next six months so I won't have to hear any more of this political crap. But when I come out of it the world will be even worse. North America will be a dead zone. The nukes and the climate will destroy everything. Might as well have the Kool-Aid ready.

Kamala's daughter is not her biological child,
they are however, very close

She's a high flying runway model engaged to the editor of a major news company, so if she is autistic and has epilepsy then she's certainly coping really well.

Kamala Harris seems very not-autistic to me.

From Psychology Today:

In the world of personality assessment, psychologist Aubrey Immelman of the College of St. Benedict has been researching and rating candidates for decades. Drawing on the work of Theodore Millon, Immelman and his group have developed a personality metric that uses open sources and empirical ratings to assess, at a distance, the personality of major presidential candidates, "as publicly perceived."
In her empirical ratings, Harris scored highly on the traits of "dominant," "narcissistic/confident," and "outgoing." This assertive and charismatic pattern, Immelman predicted last year, made Harris, with Biden, one of the top two most electable candidates then running in the Democratic primary. (Outgoing, dominant candidates often do better than conscientious/dutiful ones, who may have trouble "reading" others and are less happy while working the room.)

That doesn't sound like an autistic person to me.

Edit: That said, I like Kamala Harris and the way her rhetorical skills makes her able to run circles around Trump.

^She doesn't strike me as lazy, self-absorbed, or awkward.
