I think Simon Cowell may have aspergers traits.

1) The reasons, he does not always express ideas in the best way.

2)He can be rude to contestants.

3) He cannot undertake "small talk".

I think maybe he's just your run of the mill a**hole... if you watch him in more in depth interviews, he's perfectly capable. He just chooses to be an ass.

There is a difference between being rude on purpose for ratings vs. lacking emotion as your speak bluntly about a topic which others perceive of as you being cold or rude.

After watching the Barbra Walters Fascinating People special for 2011 he does share some traits. Such as hating small talk and being brutally honest with people. But I doubt he has it. TBH

I think you may be an armchair psychologist without any credentials that is trying to diagnose someone based on their TV persona.

Seriously, stop this. It entered the realm of absurdity when someone claimed Lady Gaga has aspergers.
