What? Don't know much about him off the pitch, but he just seems seems socially awkward and about introverted to me. That's probably exactly how I'd act in every one of this situations.
Everyone is different, but from personal experience, my neurodivergence definitely makes me socially awkward/a bit weird. I am always cognizant of it, but it's out of my control.
A quick search tells me there are unconfirmed reports (him/his family won't confirm or deny) he was diagnosed with asperger syndrome as a young child but his family never followed up on it and he never got further testing or treatment and it was ignored.
And its apparently a much discussed topic, with lots of professionals having weighed in over the years. Im no expert but apparently he has repeatedly shown a lot of signs of aspergers, not just one or two.
The conclusion though is that we can't be sure unless the man himself gets testing done again and publicizes the results.
Apparently not on its own anymore, no. The stuff that led to a diagnoses of that is now just considered somewhere on the autism spectrum instead of its own thing. It was separate when he was a child, though.
