well according to wikipedia (so it MUST be true)
Numan has
Asperger syndrome, an
autism spectrum disorder which causes restricted social and communication skills. In a 2001 interview, he said: "Polite conversation has never been one of my strong points. Just recently I actually found out that I'd got a mild form of Asperger's syndrome which basically means I have trouble interacting with people. For years, I couldn't understand why people thought I was arrogant, but now it all makes more sense."
So an excellent
PR choice by the tree hugger's
