I know there's been thread about this before. However, I have a new idea about it.
First, of all I think people stereotype men with asperger's as science guys with no empathy who like trains. Some are like that but not everyone shares the same list of traits or expresses them the same way. (So many doctors even stereotype and are not informed with the progression of diagnosing this in adults - who had a lifetime learning coping skills on their own and don't lack the empathy.) There are men and women with asperger's who have plenty of empathy and emotion. Also, I hope this isn't an offensive thread because some of the best people had asperger's - like Glenn Gould.
Anyway, my new idea with this is that perhaps this is why he seems not to be able to notice people's intentions or if they're "posers" (copying what he says/likes). I don't even want to mention the name of one example of this because I think it will annoy people to bring it up again.
(I think it's unfair to analyze him like this, but I also think since he's a public figure it's going to happen anyway.)
