Are there any other actors or actresses with AS?

Other than Paddy Considine and Daryl Hannah that is. I feel so encouraged and empowered knowing that Paddy and Darryl Hannah are... but none others? I feel like there must be more... see I'm a movies guy. That's my primary thing. Films.

Dan Aykroyd is claimed to have it.

You can be assured many more have it than you`d think.

However coming out is only possible for those that are very secure in their career. As saying you have a condition with social impairments isn`t gonna have you being considered for the top roles in hollywood.


Anyhow one that comes to mind, is the main girl cyclon from the caprica tv series.

I don't know, but I act occasionally.

I've heard Keanu Reeves is suspected to have it, but i've never seen an official statement.

Yes. Lizzy Clarke: http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/content ... ture.shtml

In addition, there are some pop singers/musicians with AS:

No, no. Dan Aykroyd is just plain bizarre. He fancy himself a paranormalist and builds machines to take to aliens.

But let's give him credit at least he's not a Scientologist.

I mean he's still f*****g awesome, you know, cause he's Dan Aykroyd.

Both Vincent D'Nofrio and Crispin Glover have been diagnosed.
