| Description | The conversation with Alex Andrade occurred after the lawmaker offered a similar assessment in a media interview.
In a testy exchange with a lawmaker, Lt. Gov. Jay Collins said he believes Gov. Ron DeSantis likely is on the autism spectrum.
Florida Politics obtained a screenshot of messages between Collins and Rep. Alex Andrade that included the assessment by the former Senator, who DeSantis tapped last week to be his Lieutenant.
Andrade, a Pensacola Republican, did not share the text. He did verify the authenticity of the conversation. In it, Andrade speculated if DeSantis had Asperger’s syndrome, a high-functioning condition that has been folded into autism spectrum disorder.
“Incredibly successful people have Asperger’s. DeSantis shows obvious signs that he could be on the spectrum. He’s an incredibly successful Governor,” Andrade wrote. |
