Not only that, but the guy seems to fit somewhere fairly close to autistic on the ASD spectrum. Below, I pulled something from the NIMH "A Parents Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder":

-Make little eye contact

-Tend to look and listen less to people in their environment or fail to respond to other people

-Do not readily seek to share their enjoyment of toys or activities by pointing or showing things to others

-Respond unusually when others show anger, distress, or affection.

I'm not saying that he fits in with emotionally unresponsive three or four-year olds, but comparative to other candidates Ben Carson fits the bill.

it's funny because the people you don't like need to be mentally ill
