Watchin it..and it's one of my favorite movies.

He seems to have a lot of aspergers traits imo...

Except he is decent at eye contact, and is good at acting to con people.

Nicholas Cage in general has aspergers imo. Very eccentric guy.

He has OCD in that movie.

I'll add, people with OCD can have subtle social difficulties and eccentricities, and it's due to people with such hiding their compulsions and obsessions from others, hence they're "in their mind" more than the average social bear. It's not the same thing as the complete social retardation of ASDs.
