Pentagon study claims Putin suffering from a ‘form of Autism’
A Pentagon study has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is suffering from Asperger's syndrome that is "an autistic disorder which affects all of his decisions."
The 2008 study obtained by USA TODAY said Putin's "neurological development was significantly interrupted in infancy."
Brenda Connors, an expert in movement pattern analysis at the US Naval War College in Newport, wrote that the Russian president “carries a neurological abnormality.”
The report also cited Dr. Stephen Porges, who is a University of North Carolina psychiatry professor, as concluding that "Putin carries a form of Autism."
On Thursday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest did not reject the Pentagon’s report.
"I'm not saying it’s un-credible," Earnest said. "I'm just saying I don't have a personal reaction."
According to experts, a definitive diagnosis would not be possible without medical tests.
The study was published amid growing tensions between Washington and Moscow over the situation in Ukraine.
The US accuses Russia of supporting pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, an allegation denied by the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry is in Kiev to meet with French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of talks with President Putin about the crisis in Ukraine.
