| At this point it's honestly just a question of semantics. If he has some traits, does it really matter if it's enough for a diagnosis or not? According to his own words, he's at a point where he can live with it happily, so it doesn't really make a difference. I mean, the cut off point for a diagnos... |

| As much as I appreciate the thought of it, having watched his shows, I simply do not see it. He has directed and created so much comedy that his thought process is evident to us all. As comforting as it is to see a celebrity have a desire to "come out" as being on the spectrum, the fact of the matt... |

| Not impossible, but being a professional performer isn't something I associate with ASD. Or at least its very rare. Yeah, or it's very mild. I feel like there needs to be more levels than just three. I haven't been diagnosed since the publication of the new DSM, but I imagine I would be level one, ... |

Really? I'm far from the only one who has said something about it. Yeah, it honestly seems like anyone who is relatively introverted tries to say they have it these days. |
