Do any other Canadians get the Aspie vibe from Justin Trudeau?

[Hurting89]

I just can't hold back on this anymore, I saw an interview with him about a year or more before he became PM and he just came across so incredibly awkward and aspie like, oh my god I wish I had words for what he was doing to make it seem so apparent but he was just really "out there". It was the instant "aspie vibe" and it's impossible to explain exactly what that is but it's what he gave off (and still does give off, though he's toning it down more).

Does anyone else pick up on this or am I absolutely crazy?

I really wish I could find that interview.

No you're not crazy, now that you've mentioned it I've picked up little clues all along that might indicate it. His Father had a similar 'air' about him that was one of contempt for the hierarchy that was in place when he became prime minister. Although neither of them are likely aware that they are or were. He's actually been 'professionally tutored' since his early years in politics, but he still comes across as likeable and genuine.

Find him to be less elitist than his Father was, the french upper class tend towards being elitist in nature, almost snobby, which says more about their insecurities and private school educations. Although, it may indicate too, the political aspirations of the christian brothers who educate them. Many boys who attend private schools run from seminaries are taught early on that it is expected that they will become leaders, likely because of the wealth and power they grew up with.

Funny. I would think that if there was an Aspie PM, it would be the one who wouldn't hug his children in public.

I can't really comment as I haven't made time to learn much of our PM.
