After JFK's death, it was indeed disclosed that he'd been diagnosed as having Addisons Disease (a malfunction of the adrenal glands) when he was 30, about 15 years before his assassination. If it hadn't been for the development of a couple of drugs a few years after the diagnosis, he wouldn't have lived long.
He also had chronic back pain and was diagnosed as having hypothyroidism and apparently he was also dyslexic.
All in all, a guy with a lot of health issues, but I've never heard it suggested he had Asperger's or was on the spectrum.
Is it normal that I can’t respond to a girl’s mind games?

like him or not i dont think anyone would characterize him as socially awkward
i wouldnt be surprised if nixon had aspergers though
By golly, you are right it was addison's not aspergers. But either way, being filthy rich always helps with getting dates.
