I've heard all sorts of things about George and John's "fist fight": that it occurred because Yoko stole a digestive biscuit from George, because George started telling John how Dylan thought Yoko was uncool, and various other things. John claimed physical blows weren't traded in a later interview but I guess we'll never know what really went down.

Apparently the problem between George and Yoko during Let It Be sessions is that Yoko sat on George's amp. To anyone who plays even semi-professionally, you know this is a no-no – you just don't sit on someone else's amp. If screws up the settings and blocks the sound and it's just not done.
The best synthesis of the info is that John and George had a shoving match which was physical but not throwing any punches.
This is when George walked out and John made his comment about getting Eric Clapton to talk George's place.
I think John's comment (the swagger as a defense) shows the problem in that moment was between George and him.

From what i can gleem from what Doug Sulpy wrote, transcribed from the Get Back tapes, is that there was no fist fight. Suply writes that Michael Housego wrote an article in a newspaper called the 'The Daily Sketch' on 20th January and on the 21st January, when George had returned and they were now at Apple "George mentions the part of the article that reports he and John "threw a few vicious phrases" at one another – which he [George] claims is untrue, and Yoko chimes in that thats libel". (The Complete Get Back Sessions, page 96)
Wasnt the biggest problem in January 1969 that John wouldnt communicate with anyone, most of the time during discussions about the band or the Get Back project John would sit there and say nothing. Also relations between all 4 were lousy (George wasnt happy with being in the band and how he was treated by John and Paul), the environment sucked (both in the studios during recording the White Album and when in Twickenham rehearsing in January 1969), Paul was overbearing, and Yoko was there 24/7.

It is true that not all Aspies present all symptoms (as I said), and there are some who have no quirks in their speech and very good motor control (often this is trained though). One example is Owl City, who I will link to at the bottom. However, George barely presented any of the symptoms.
Wow, never knew Owl City has Asperger's.

Ever just think he might have been really sad, depressed? If something that has been apart of your life for so long ends, even if you wanted it to, I can't imagine that is easy, and some people handle it better than others. I would be pretty upset for a while too, I'm not good with change, maybe George wasn't either.

True, true. I think that sometimes it's easy to gather some info, make up another part and say that that person was ill or suffered with some kind of illness.

Yeah I agree, sometimes we want to figure out reasons behind everything that happens so we seem kind of in more control over how it could have happened. I just don't think it's as "dramatic" or as severe as we seem to think sometimes.
