Judging from your other questions, I suspect this question is just a smart-alec way for you to say "Bush is a Retard!"
If that's the case, that is highly offensive! As a grandmother of two autistice children, I find it very insulting that you would use this serious condition as a means of insulting someone!
And those with high functioning autism many times end up being VERY successful. Temple Grandin revolutionized the cattle industry. Many people suspect Bill Gates has Asperger's (very high-functioning form of autism)
Be careful what you use as an insult. You could end up insulting more than the ones you intended.

Definitely an insult to Austistic people, manh of whom have levels of intelligence bordering on genuius.
Bush is a sad man of low intelligence who's brain has been addled , damaged, by an over indulgence in his youth, of drugs and alcohol. Besides he was not born with an over abundence of brains in the first place.
This of course play perfectly in into the hands of the warhawks and $multi billion Arms industry. They need a patsy to sanction their sales of arms worldwide and ensure ongoing conflict and need for arms.
Big business like Arms, Pharmecuticals and Oil do not want or need an intelligent President.

As a parent of an Autistic child I can say proabably not. However I would like to share with you some real Autisic Spectrum disorder signs and you can see if this fits the Commander and Chief.

Autism
Signs and symptoms
In general, children with autism have problems in three crucial areas of development — social skills, language and behavior. The most severe autism is marked by a complete inability to communicate or interact with other people.
Because the symptoms of autism vary widely, two children with the same diagnosis may act quite differently and have strikingly different skills.
If your child has autism, he or she may develop normally for the first few months — or years — of life and then later become less responsive to other people, including you. You may recognize the following signs in the areas of social skills, language and behavior:
Social skills
Fails to respond to his or her name
Has poor eye contact
Appears not to hear you at times
Resists cuddling and holding
Appears unaware of others' feelings
Seems to prefer playing alone — retreats into his or her "own world"
Language
Starts talking later than other children
Loses previously acquired ability to say words or sentences
Does not make eye contact when making requests
Speaks with an abnormal tone or rhythm — may use a singsong voice or robot-like speech
Can't start a conversation or keep one going
May repeat words or phrases verbatim, but doesn't understand how to use them
Behavior
Performs repetitive movements, such as rocking, spinning or hand-flapping
Develops specific routines or rituals
Becomes disturbed at the slightest change in routines or rituals
Moves constantly
May be fascinated by parts of an object, such as the spinning wheels of a toy car
May be unusually sensitive to light, sound and touch
Young children with autism also have a hard time sharing experiences with others. When someone reads to them, for example, they're unlikely to point at pictures in the book. This early-developing social skill is crucial to later language and social development.
As they mature, some children with autism become more engaged with others and show less marked disturbances in behavior. Some, usually those with the least severe impairments, eventually may lead normal or near-normal lives. Others, however, continue to have severe impairments in language or social skills, and the adolescent years can mean a worsening of behavior problems.
The majority of children with autism are slow to acquire new knowledge or skills. However, some children with autism have normal to high intelligence. These children learn quickly yet have trouble communicating, applying what they know in everyday life and adjusting in social situations. An extremely small number of children with autism are "autistic savants" and have exceptional skills in a specific area, such as art or math.

But he's a very good driver, and he buys all his underwear at K-mart, and likes to watch the People's Court.
