what I recall him saying was nothing about Jewishness or women: he says, I think I remember, that Franklin "did not see faces," i.e. he thought she was partially autistic. (go to 35:00 in the talk)

At the time, he was researching the heritability of autism.

That was his explanation for why she didn't enjoy talking to people, especially those who were her rivals.
