As a high functioning aspie myself, can you describe how you think he is one? I never picked up anything like that in the slightest.
Than again, Alfred and I's personalities are soooo far apart, and Aspies are all very different, so I dunno. I'm just wondering why you think he is one.
I got this idea from a fic where he's going on about something and everybody else there obviously is not interested at all, and yet he goes on, probably just indulging him because of his economic/military power.
1) he's often depicted as having difficulties with social cues. I guess this is different with everyone's interpretation but sometimes this goes to the extreme. 2) a lesser-used trait is an obsession/skill with engineering, especially planes. A lot of times overproduction that caused the Great Depression is depicted as something that Europe already knew, "well DUH you're going to overproduce!" when possibly he was just focused on making the appliances and wasn't really thinking of/interested in the economic repercussions.
I know it's farfetched, but I think it could work. *shrug*
