    Default Is Kawhi an autist?




    I think he might be and it is not a bad thing. I have an autistic son (dbugz) and I work with autistic people. Kawhi definitely fits some of the symptoms - evasive eye contact, extremely withdrawn facial expression, inability to vocalize or interact with others, etc. Either that or he is extremely shy.

    I absolutely think he is on the Spectrum. Folks on the Spectrum have A very difficult time connecting with others on A meaningful level. It's often joked that he is A robot and that he watches humans to try and figure out how to fit in. Whatever it is that connects us in social situations those on the spectrum struggle with immensely. Doesn't mean low intelligence or anything of the sort.

    He was on the spectrum well before his dad passed. I know because I have an autistic son (dbugz). We let him have a cheap tablet with wifi internet so that he can chat on the basketball forums. It's his only way to feel normal, by using the digital world.

    Well played.
    My Autistic daughter is the same way. I keep her chained in the basement though due to her habit of biting people she is not comfortable with.

    Absolutely true, doesn't mean low IQ or inability to learn. He has clearly shown that he has learned the game. He is a great player, and he is a strong brave man for going out into the public just like my son.

    It actually could mean genius intelligence since your brain uses more of its logical side than its emotional. Isaac Newton, Mozart, Tesla... all considered that.
