I think Ugasi/Serena aka Sailor Moon is a poster child for female AS. I often hear that Mercury is because she is a genius but she dosen't have any obvious learning disabilites that so many aspies seem to. Most aspies are said to be geniuses in certian areas but Mercury is good at everything academic and has wonderful social skills. Usagi has almost every AS trait in the book including being very clumsy and obsessed with video games and comic books as many aspies are.

Hataro/Saturn seems to have a few traits but I think it's really because she is so sickly because of the bad spirit inside of her.

Cale from Titan A.E.

Tommy's dad from Rugrats

Lily, Fritz and possibly Nora from Timothy Goes to School

Buster and D.W. from Arthur

Zim, Dib, Gaz, Keef and Professor Membrane from Invader Zim

Charolette and Vendetta from Making Fiends

If Spock from Star Trek was fully human, I think he definitely qualified for aspie material. He was my great example But since he's half alien, I guess he's not, unless they made vulcans aspies?!

For one episode of USA Network's "In Plain Sight", a woman with Aspeger's was a key witness in a case about a numbers running operation. She didn't know what was going on when the police came in and continued to work. It became apparent that they really were using her and offered "friendship" if she helped them.

The Trinity Killer from Dexter screams Aspie to me.

Also Dexter also makes me think about him being an aspie mainly because his lack of socialness which screams aspie which many blame on him watching his mothers murder yet his brother didn't have that issue even thought he saw the same thing.

Being different does not equal Aspergers/Autism.

Squidward from "SpongeBob" might be an aspie; also Ed, Edd, and Eddy might be too.

I don't see in any possible ways them being Aspie... Why do you say that?

Have you seen Season 4 with the Trinity Killer? Also you didn't even read my post as I stated that yes Dexter was scarred because of watching his mother die but why wasn't his brother the same way in Season 1? He could pull of perfectly normal and understand everybody. And The Trinity Killer is hardcore Aspergers.

Is Jerry the character from Boston Legal that TheGreyBadger is referring to? Because he is definitely Aspie. I used to watch the show, when it was popular, and still do (in syndication). I was relieved that there was finally a TV character with Asperger's, that it is being recognized by the media.

A lot of sociopaths are good at playing "normal."

He's a sociopath, not Asperger's. Get over it.

Lettuce Midorikawa/Bridget Verdant from Tokyo Mew Mew. She is bullied by the three most popular girls in the school who claim to be her friends but they take advantage of her and make her do their homework for them and stuff. She admits she's never had very many friends before. She lets them take advantage of her because she thinks they are her friends and that if continues to do things for them they will do things for her eventually.

That doesn't sound like Asperger's at all. Lots of people are unpopular, bullied, and taken advantage of.
