For the sake of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, psychopaths =/= Asperger's or autism.
Psychopaths are very smooth in their social skills on a superficial level. But they lack empathy.
Asperger's/autism have empathy, but they have trouble interpreting social cues and consequently, have trouble demonstrating empathy.
It's the difference between not knowing how what is appropriate in social situations (Asperger's), and knowing, but not caring (psychopathy).
Anyway, Nixon was very likely on the autistic spectrum.
