Does John Danaher Have Asperger's?

[IDGETKTFO]

My kids old shrink had aspergers. Dude was flip'n out on the people that worked in the office, for no reason. Yeah, needless to say, we found a new shrink the next day. I am all for equal rights but somebody with aspergers should not work in that field.

there's a definite possibility. i appreciate how deliberate and thorough he is. although he can get long-winded. for example-here's his answer as to why he always wear rash guards:

"Arguably the question i am asked more than any other has nothing to do with jiu jitsu. “Why do you always wear a rashguard?” First let me dispel a commonly voiced, but incorrect theory. It has nothing to do with fighting or being ready for fights. In my current physical state, an aggressive five year old could easily defeat me with a simple kick to the knee or hip or even a simple push – a rash guard isn’t going to save me! My reasons are purely practical. First, they are very comfortable, Second, they are easily washed and dried. Third, they are extremely low maintenance/wrinkle free/easily packed for travel etc. Fourth, being a low friction material, they are well adapted for wear under a jacket. Fifth, They enable me to comfortably demonstrate a technique in impromptu social situations to students. Sixth, they are warm in cold weather, yet cooling in hot summers due to wicking effects, and; if caught in rainstorm, they will dry in minutes even while being worn. Seventh, some clothing companies sponsor and support my athletes. I am proud to represent any company that supports my people. Eight, they are free as clothing companies are happy to see me wear their products. Nine, there is considerable variation in rashguard design that can vary from informal daily wear to more formal wear for dates/occasions. When it comes to comfort and utility and low maintenance, I have never seen an attire that can beat track pants, sneakers, rash guard and fanny pack. If i find something more comfortable in the future i will switch to that. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but I am already rather ugly and odd looking so I don’t even bother with clothing aesthetics as my looks are a lost cause – if I had to rely on looks and charm for anything in my life I would be a homeless beggar already . Now it’s time for a rash guard story that may change the minds of some of rash guard doubters out there…I am an admirer of the great MMA fighter Jose Aldo – any time he fights, I’m watching. The night he fought Uriah Faber, I wanted to see it. I don’t own a television, so I suggested to a bunch of my students that we go to a sports bar on the upper east side of Manhattan and watch it live. As always, I was running a little late and came in wearing my usual attire and began looking around for our table. Now my students and I actively seek out every opportunity to prank/ridicule/make fun of each other, my general weirdness gives them lots of raw material to work with! The entire group of them had dressed in rash guards and Fanny packs! As I sat down there was a noticeable look from pretty much the entire bar as they all simultaneously asked the question, “who the f**k are these dorks and why are they dressed in those gimp outfits?” We all started laughing and started to watch the show. Out of nowhere groups of women started up to our table and started asking who we were and why were we dressed like that? Were we a sports team? Cyclists? Triathletes? Lunatics? Morons? Suddenly our table was neck deep in curious babes and hotties and the Jose Aldo fight was forgotten Every single one of my students got multiple phone numbers and action out of that escapade! (I was the only failure ) The dudes at the bar were furious and could not understand how a bunch of dorks in wet suits who looked like they had beamed down from the deck of the starship Enterprise had gotten all the female attention So, who knows…maybe you doubters ought to give it a try…my rash guard system worked as well for my students as my leg lock system…perhaps it can work for you too!

I wish i had more Asperger's. Even people like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates are high on the list.

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Interesting... Could be a new excuse for Jon Jones.

At least he has not forgotten how to speak English.

 

[Strategery]

Don't know about this guy, but I'm pretty sure the Miyao brothers have Asperger's.

They can barely speak their own language. And they have no other interest in their lives.

Had never heard of the Miyao bros, so looked them up and watched some vids. Pretty sure they have Asperger's.

I believe John Danaher has Asperger's disorder. Does anyone else think so also?

*Writes essays in his social media posts (i.e. will write 5 paragraphs for an IG post)
*Lacks facial expressions
*Formal speaking style
*One-sided and long conversations about his favorite subjects (excessive speech)
*Pre-occupied with one or very few interests (MMA + BJJ)
*Highly intelligent

Asperger's is a form of autism. Autism is a spectrum disorder. Because it is a spectrum disorder, everybody is within the spectrum. Anything with a brain is within this spectrum disorder. Horses, cows, etc. lie within the autism spectrum. Every single human has autism, but to varying degrees. Humans that we medically diagnose as having autism just happen to display way more traits of autism than the typical person. So everybody lies in the spectrum for Asperger's. It is just that different people display different amounts of Asperger's. I believe John Danaher has A LOT of Asperger's. He is a BJJ genius.

Or they both got extremely high as they tend to do at Joe Rogan's place

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I'm sorry, but who actaully gives a shit?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ColombianFist]

He's just awkward, despite being a great bjj coach.

 

[bigma]

Your understanding of ASD is about as deep as your ability to analyze personality traits, which is to say they're both very shallow. Saying that everyone is on the autism spectrum is akin to saying an orange (the fruit) is on the light spectrum. There is such a thing as neurotypical, and it is almost impossible to gauge one's traits based on the limited information we have.

that's probably a very good indication that you don't have it.
