I disagree… his public appearances, as limited as they are, suggest the possibility someone on the autism spectrum; little-to-no personal interactions, no display of emotion, little-to-no verbal expression.
That would explain why, despite now being 18 years old, his mother is so protective of him, and could be part of the justification for not locating to DC at the beginning of Trump’s term, so as not to disrupt his routine during the school year.

Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out something the other night; in Trump’s criminal trial in NY, one of the defense attorney’s described Trump as a husband and father, during opening arguments. Yet NO ONE, not his wife, not any of his kids, have shown up to any of the court sessions to support him. As O’Donnell said, even Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents came to his trial. But Trump’s family, for whom relationships appear to be just as transactional as they are for Donnie, have apparently decided there isn’t enough up-side to give him their time.
