Does Tommy have a disability?


There used to be a few posts on this on the older IMDB site but they're gone now. He seems to have some form of Autism.

What makes you say that?

Lol subtle.

In Greg Sestero's book he talks about how Tommy was in a serious car accident. It's quite possible that his unique behavior is the result of some sort of head trauma.

Not sure about autism, I'm far from an expert. I know a few young people on different parts of the spectrum but none seem to match what I see from Wiseau.

LOL Satan2016!! Seriously I think he is far from autistic. He seems to be highly intelligent and aware of everything going on around him. I just think he just operates on a different dimension from most of us. I was impressed with everything he said in the commentary track for Disaster Artist even with James Franco's repeated attempts to cut him off, undermine him, and condescend to him.

English isn't exactly his strong suit, but the man possesses a high level of hustle and sharp business acumen.
