I think Adam Sandler's character in Punch Drunk Love may be an Aspie

Mark Zuckerberg, or at least the portrayal of him, in the Social Network, seems very Aspie. Check out the scene with Eisenberg and Timberlake in the nightclub, and Zuckerberg is just staring at the lights, not engaging with anyone.

This is a TV charecter, but it's been suspected that Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory has Aspergers...... along with many other neurotic issues such as OCD.

A bit of cheat as the char is from a show and not a movie, but Crona always struck me as being a possible aspie. If anyone else has seen Soul Eater maybe you can say something.


Oh my... O_O I've never seen that before! But (s)he kinda is.

I also think that Ash from Mr. Fantastic Fox is an Aspie.

Janet Frame in "An Angel at My Table." The real Janet Frame was most likely on the spectrum, and she certainly seemed that way in the movie. It was kind of like watching myself ...

Adam from the movie "Adam" has Asperger's, according to the summary at imdb.
..someone from "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" :) havn't seen it yet.
Malcolm from "Malcolm" supposedly has Aspergers, havn't seen it yet. :)
The twins from "Miracle Run" are autistic, not seen this either.
"The Sunshine Boy" is an islandic documentary about a mother and her autistic son.

I actually havn't seen any of these yet, but they are on my todo-list. :)

After seeing Amazing Spider Man, I think that Peter Parker may have AS. He seems very focused on his tasks, seems a little "off" at times. Plus in a few scenes, he is wearing a Albert Eienstien tshirt.

Yes, he is. It even says in the movie, his therapist says he's a paranoid schizophrenic.

Spongebob Squarepants.
Malcolm in the middle. maybe some of his brothers too, like Dewey.
I think :P

Was Dr Hannibal Lecter mentioned before? I know he is a freak mainly because of a trauma. But is the trauma enough of a cause to become obsessed about anatomy? Other then being a psychopath he is portrayed as very intellectual and sort of an evil genius. His manipulative skills are the results of his craving quest for victims? Or a result of his knowledge about the workings of the brain? Is he just a bad case with some sort manipulative personality disorder, or could he have AS with a trauma that drove him down the path of madness?
This makes me think of another revisable example, captain Jack Sparrow. Is he so odd simply because he's a drunk pirate of the sea? All the other ones are grumpy! Oh well after all they aren't drunk captains.

I suspect of actors with AS i know it's off topic but i just say it: John Malkovic, I'm a big fan.
Oh i;m now going to watch a movie 'Being John Malkovich' i just found out about!
That makes him a movie character too XD

Hey, currently watching a really good movie with a boy who is an Aspie. It wasn't mentioned on the cover nor description on imdb but it is said in the movie and honestly anyone with knowledge of Aspies can tell within just the first few parts of the movie. It's called Extremely loud and incredibly close
