But even that makes little sense. In order to be an effective conman, you must at the very least be able to get people to trust you through imitating social protocols with no emotion behind them. No strings. Aspergers does not lend to that notion. If anything I'd say Nero feels more like a character that's a sociopath rather than a sufferer of Aspergers. And even then, if its a case of lower end Aspergers that allows the often but odd social interactions, Aspergers suffers cannot discern body language in people. Yet another skill quintessential for a con man.
