Editing George S. Patton (section)

=== Military Training and Cognitive Style ===
At West Point, Patton excelled in tactical logic, weapons handling, and '''historical strategic modeling'''. He was relentless in training and maintained '''perfectionist standards''', both for himself and subordinates. His social style was formal, inflexible, and often dominated by '''monologues on war, leadership, and destiny'''.

He could be personable in short bursts, but struggled with '''emotional nuance, group dynamics, or hierarchical ambiguity'''. This aligns with the '''autistic executive profile''', wherein '''authority must be structured and loyalty ritualized'''.

He organized his day around strict routines—down to the second—and required the same from those around him. Any deviation was met with '''moralistic outrage''', not pragmatic flexibility. This behavioral rigidity is a key diagnostic marker.
