He has some very capable and smart colleagues no matter what you think of their politics, how did he get this far without any ability? How did they not recognise his lack of any intellectual capability? This is strange, I understand most Australians vote for who the TV tells them to these days, but still.

Tony is a fighter. And, the little I know about Autism is that it takes many shapes. The worst affected are rendered incapable of looking after or caring for them selves.

One of the other forms can produce utter geniuses in their chosen field. if you have ever met a child or person who has the latter form often you will find somebody who is anal and logistical about many things.

They have the ability to be totally focused on their goals and even if proven wrong will not shift their ground. In Politics that is a powerful motivator and a lot of people just give up or are completely destroyed.

Their is no right nor wrong, they believe what they think and are not easily controlled.

To be fair to somebody who has a family member with Autism their are a lot of successful people who have gone on to achieve great things.

Whether Politics is a great example I am not sure, because Autism generally reduces certain functions of the brain and intensifies other parts.

I would be inclined to think that Politics requires a well rounded person who understands both sides of the fence and then chooses which side they belong.

Childishly, I entered 'Tony Abbott Is Stupid' into Google


Sim sala bim


Found this.  Confirms what I've suspected for ages anyway, but still ....

Thanks to the Facebook group Keep Social Democracy in Australia I have borrowed the above photo.

Tony Abbott, by the looks of it, wore an ear piece during his interview with Leigh Sales on the 7:30 Report on Wednesday night.

Why? Does he have to be told what to say? Can’t he think or speak for himself?

As reported widely in the social media (where else?), Tony Abbott can’t turn up to any interview these days without the famous ear piece.

And those persistent coughs during the interview with Sales (which you may well have noticed). Were they an alert – as someone on Facebook suggested – to tell the ‘listener’  . . . “Help me on this one”.

You’ve got to wonder

Thats interesting, you could also be describing Kevin Rudd. Maybe Abbotts like Rudd only without the intellect.

So Professors are we to understand that your cumulative knowledge in the field of Medical Endeavour confirms your prognosis that Tony Abbott has Aspergers Syndrome......wankers!

My understanding is Credlin is a very sharp operator ans a very savvy girl, so your question does bear examination.

He was schooled by jesuits, so he would have been taught a lot of "compassion"
Jesuit schools still make the students go and work at soup kitchens at night and help the homeless.
I believe his work with aboriginal communties is part of this.
From a woman i know who knows Tony from warringah, he is very community minded and , she felt, a very genuine bloke.
The decision to study to become a priest says heaps.
This is a very "odd" career choice and certainly for a liberal.

i think Tony is deeply conflicted. i never thought he would be a good economic manager in the likeness of a Reith or Costello.

A catholic priest doesnt even have any money. there is a vow of poverty and then an allowance for food. i dont even think they have personal investments or bank Ac"s.
malcolm is blue blood, born to rule silvertail, macquarie banker liberal.

But, yes, i think Tony has a personality dosorder , is naive and lacks social intelligence. He's been promoted one level too high in the system. He's obviously a very hard worker and may have made an excellent minister for Aboriginal Affairs with his physical energy and jesuit principles.
Canberra must have been quite an alien experience for him.
I feel sorry for the guy, i always have. He has an awkwardness in front of the camera, he has always been like one of those people on a talent show, just caught in the spotlight like a rabbit.
His place is on a quad bike in the NT, not in the rarified air of the professional BS artist,  leave that to the likes of Rudd, Pyne, Brandis, the Green senators. 
those people are as shallow as a puddle.  good for TV

Im being serious here,after reading an article about Putin in which the Amercians say that he has Aspergers I applied the symptoms to our own PM, I could not understand how a Rhodes scholar could exhibit what appers to me to be some sort of intellectual retardation, after all you have to be a seriously intelligent person to get a scholarship as far as I am aware and Abbott obviously displays qualities that his colleaugues see and believe in  enough to make him leader so the intellectual retardation just doesnt add up. Heres the symptoms of Aspergers
Problems with social skills:
check
Children with Asperger's syndrome generally have difficulty interacting with others and often are awkward in social situations. They generally do not make friends easily. They have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversation.

Eccentric or repetitive behaviors
check
Children with this condition may develop odd, repetitive movements, such as hand wringing or finger twisting.

Communication difficulties:
check
People with Asperger's syndrome may not make eye contact when speaking with someone. They may have trouble using facial expressions and gestures, and understanding body language. They also tend to have problems understanding language in context and are very literal in their use of language.

Limited range of interests:
check
A child with Asperger's syndrome may develop an intense, almost obsessive, interest in a few areas, such as sports schedules, weather, or maps.
Coordination problems: The movements of children with Asperger's syndrome may seem clumsy or awkward.

Skilled or talented:
check
Many children with Asperger's syndrome are exceptionally talented or skilled in a particular area, such as music or math.

Abbott displays all but one of the symptoms listed, even that he may have had as a child.


Are you retarded? I'm being serious.
are you denying Abbott has any of these issues? Really?


Being talented doesn't mean I have autism. Having a narrow range of interests doesn't mean I have autism, and so on for the other points. I've supported autistic people of varying degrees in my nursing career and believe me when I say I'd bet my house that Abbott isn't the slightest bit autistic.

  I always thought he had some sort of personality disorder which he was able to keep under control most times. His past behaviour certainly demonstrates it. No reasonable person could deny he has behavioural issues.

@ Aquascoot --- I'm sure many people were initially as generous as you

However, the mists have cleared from people's eyes

Howard was at least if not more awkward than Abbott

Howard may have been as ruthless.  Many claim so and they may be correct


But it was Abbott alone who claimed he was willing to sell his rrrs for the top job, according to Windsor.  And haven't seen any demands for retractions from Abbott's camp


Edited to say that before I log out, it's to be doubted many would seek to reconcile the alleged asceticism of the wannabee Jesuit monk with rorting of travel expenses and acceptance of a 'peculiar' scholarship worth approx. $60,000 for their daughter on the quiet and without declaring it

It is partly because of Costello we are having so many fiscal and economic problems today.
