He is diagnosed (although not officially) with the Asperger syndrome and ever since she entered his life she’s helped him dealing with it so it would not hamper his career. And while you may not immediately have noticed, the chances in his behavior have been significant. In the early years of his career he would hardly ever take off his sunglasses, especially when speaking with people, it was his way to avoid making eye contact. Now, whenever in conversation or being interviewed he will emphasis on making the eye contact from the start and won’t let go. Without the conversation partner or interviewer’s knowledge, he’s training himself. It is a direct result of her influence, she has made a big issue of it, form day one of their relationship. If you have a suspicion you know who we are talking about, just pay attention to the couple’s eye contact at public events and you will get an idea of what we are talking about. Watch him when he’s addressing an audience and how his eyes will search hers to stay calm and relaxed, because basically he hates it when people star at him. Another thing people with Asperger Syndrome often have trouble with is physical contact, and again she’s found a way to help (maybe force) deal with and overcome this; she is very touchy. Again, if you have a suspicion who we are talking about, watch pictures or footage of the couple and you will notice there is always some kind of physical contact. Small hint: his aides often request people to avoid staring at him while he’s working. It still makes him edgy. Do you have any idea who we are talking about?
