What is the disorder that allows you to say whatever comes to mind

[Kung Lau]

Not talking foot-in-mouth disease, but I thought there was a specific condition that allows no inhibitiion of what thoughts come out of mouth.

Tourette's syndrome is what I think you have in mind.

 

[kranky]

Tourette's is probably what you're thinking of, but your definition is wrong.

 

[mundane]

Idiocy?

 

[Kung Lau]

Don't think it was Tourette's. This guy is was pretty well spoken but brash isn't the word I'd use. He was way beyond brash, given his audience.

He was almost doing what Bruce Willis had to do in Harlem in Die Hard III, but willingly.

I'm thinking this guy has some pyschological disorder or something because my mind cannot fully comphrehend what he did, especially given his job and where he works.

your thinking more along the lines of what slevin had in lucky number slevin? where you don't take reactions into consideration.

Psychopathy

pronounced /'sa?ko??pæ?i/ in General American) is a term derived from the Greek psych (soul) and pathos (suffering), and was once used to denote any form of mental illness. These days, psychopathy is defined in psychiatry as a condition characterised by lack of empathy or conscience, poor impulse control and manipulative behaviors.

Yes, I was thinking more along those lines. Slevin stated his condition in the movie; I'd forgotten what term he had used. Did he use Psychopathy?

Kanye West syndrome.

Like Jim Carey in Liar Liar?

 

[Beattie]

Asperger's Syndrome maybe? Some form of autism?

 

[djheater]

I'd think you were talking about Asperger Syndrome. Attention to autism recently has put it in the public light as well.

Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space.

Kinda. This guy that made these statements wasn't necessarily spouting off true facts, just ugly, one sided perspectives; pretty much like bigotry but his views were toward a social subsegment and not towards a race/gender.

Ataraxia but I'm not sure it was really correctly used in the movie.
