I think you misunderstand me.  I'm saying that even if you give benefit of the doubt and assume he has Aspergers and can't help it, it doesn't excuse his complete lack of ambition and bad attitude.  Aspergers can explain his *behavior*, but it doesn't excuse his *shitty personality*; it just makes it hard for him to hide it effectively.

Put another way, he does not deserve this job.  Asperger's can explain why this was made so abundantly clear in the interview, but it can't explain or excuse the fact itself.
