I get that, but I still think he's got Asperger's. 

Check out these symptoms:

• Inappropriate or minimal social interactions
  
• Conversations that almost always revolve around themselves or a certain topic, rather than others
  
• Not understanding emotions well or having less facial expression than others
  
• Speech that sounds unusual, such as flat, high-pitched, quiet, loud, or robotic
  
• Not using or understanding nonverbal communication, such as gestures, body language and facial expression
  
• An intense obsession with one or two specific, narrow subjects
  
• Becoming upset at any small changes in routines
  
• Memorizing preferred information and facts easily
  
• Clumsy, uncoordinated movements, including difficulty with handwriting
  
• Difficulty managing emotions, sometimes leading to verbal or behavioral outbursts, self-injurious behaviors or tantrums
  
• Not understanding other peoples’ feelings or perspectives
  
• Hypersensitivity to lights, sounds and textures
  

With the exception of that last symptom, Kanye exhibits all of these.

I have most of those.  Elon Musk does too.  I have always had people in my life pointing out when I'm painting outside the lines, socially, but lately Kanye and Elon have not.  Perhaps my symptoms are mild but I've always found it easy to compensate and step back when I realize I'm coming across poorly.  Didn't need medication until my mid 30s.
