Characters with Autism & Asperger Traits

Post Reply New Topic

Goblin Slayer from the anime "Goblin Slayer" (with the same name)
He's only interested in slaying goblins (which are creatures in that story)
And completely uninterested in other things.
Whenever other characters discuss something else, he'd say stuff like "But is that related to goblins?"

He's very successful in slaying goblins and get paid for it. The other team members just tag along.

The brilliant armchair detective Nero Wolfe.

Never wants to leave the house. Doesn't like interacting, and when it's necessary has to be done in his office where he is in control. His routines must not be interrupted. Gets upset when they are or his cook tries something new etc. He hired someone to do the legwork and do most of the interacting for him.

Newt Scamander "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (Its a big fan theory)
Sheldon Cooper "The Big Bang Theory" (I love him so much)
Forrest Gump "Forrest Gump" (I mean...)
Billy Cranston "Power Rangers" (his is stated in the movie)
Draxx "Guardians of the Galaxy" (Ok so the literal interpretation of things is his alien culture...but still its a trait)
Napoleon Dynamite "Napoleon Dynamite" (tell me Im not the only one who remembers this movie)
Christian Wolff "The Accountant" (I love Ben Affleck!)

'The Wonder Years' episode 'Square Dance' - Kevin is paired-up for square-dancing with a classmate who would have likely been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum present-day. Most notable, the classmate's main interest is with bats.

Dr. Robotnik's nephew and lackey Snively from the old Sonic The Hedgehog SatAM cartoon and Archie comics series. Have people heard of him?

Simpsons characters with AS traits:

1. Lisa Simpson- she has very few friends and is intelligent. She is socially awkward. She seems obsessed with the saxophone and jazz music. I always related to Lisa. My dad is a lot like Homer too

2. Professor Frink- he is clumsy, very intelligent, socially inept, has speech issues, and has a tic where he randomly says "glaven" or nonsense words like that.

3. Comic book guy - He has poor social skills, is intelligent, and has an obsessive and extensive knowledge of comic books.

4. Martin Prince - same reasons as Lisa minus the music thing.

Mary Katherine Gallagher from Saturday Night Live and the movie "Superstar". She is very clumsy, socially awkward, and regarded as "weird". In high school people said that's who I was like. We are both clumsy, socially awkward, and had dark brown hair.

Antonia from Mad TV. She has poor social skills and only seems able to speak about her cat. Also, hilarious character.

I am a huge fan of Invader Zim and I think Zim has some form of autism/general spectrum disorders. It could be a complete coincidence, but there is a butt load of evidence to stake my claim.

Not only was he born with a defective PAK (basically his brain), he shows little to no volume control (compared to other Irken we see in the show, he is quite the boisterous one), rarely picks up on social cues (when Tak pranked him, he thought her love was for real, and again, compared to other Irken like Tak, he is much less skilled at, considering she in particular blended in perfectly), and experiences extreme sensory overload in Walk of Doom, bolting out of the city as soon as possible. He obviously shows little to no empathy for, well, anyone, but a " cold unfeeling robot arm ", which could also be an object Zim clings to.

What do you guys think? Is it pure coincidence or is it more just general anxiety and unfamiliar-ness with his environment?
