Mick Avory is an aspie in my eyes

After a lifetime of being dedicated to The Kinks and after reading about AS from many sources, I have a hunch that Mick Avory is a possible Aspergian. He looks very young for his age. He has a larger than average head. His eye-contact is a little on the weak side. He never really looked at the photographer's eyes or the camera, unless it was a very rare occasion. He usually looked out of the left or right corners of his eyes, depending where the photographer was standing. He never really posed in the old pictures, while the other Kinks were being creative with their poses. He speaks slightly more slowly than the average person, in monotone and with a Cockney Accent, (well of course he's an East End Londoner and that's why he has that accent). His posture is a little weaker than some people's. There are also pictures where he appears to be wearing a similar undergarment to what I wear, due to a similar problem. Of course this is my opinion and everybody's entitled to their own. I just didn't want it on the message boards, open for attack.

Yeah, from what you've said it definitely sounds like he could be on the spectrum. I'm gonna watch YouTube videos of Mick Avory to see if I can see the aspie traits in him. I honestly don't know much about Mick Avory other than that he was the drummer of The Kinks. I'm fond of The Kinks so it would be neat if he really was on the spectrum.

Anyway: Is Mick Avory your favorite Kinks member? If so, what is it that makes him your favorite member?
 
He was the most sensitive and caring member and he'd always be helping people out and talking to them. I also think he's adorable and I kind of look like him. I relate to his childhood, as well. He was also the first original member of The Kinks to find God in the 60s, after he was caught making love with a DJ's girlfriend, giving her his baby and the DJ shoved 4 fingers up his butt, rendering him needing protective undergarments for the same reason that I need them. From late 1965 onwards, he was the Kink who had the strongest morals after the incident and him and I also have similar personalities and personality traits. We're both big and gentle people and sensitive, brown-eyed Cockneys.
