Well, it starts with an A, but it isn't a disorder, think of a substance.

PFAH! How's he aspie?

He might be schizophrenic, though, what with his...hah...hallucinations in the third one. (Cough cough "I dropped my brain.") If he actually SEES those things, that is.

No, but he became quite delusional in the third movie. :lol:

I think aspies want to find people in fiction that they can look up to, to say "hey, my hero has AS just like me!"

It's such a shame that there are so few fictional characters with AS.

How can Jack Sparrow have Aspergers if he's a pirate?
He's a cool, drunk NT.

Nah, don't think CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow is aspie. He is too charismatic and has good persuasion skills, which is how he worms out of trouble all the time (think of his deal with Barbossa in the later part of PotC: CotBP). He sure is funny as hell to watch, though. A very well-made character.

Even though I agree that most ones with developmental disorders are more likely to be victims of crimes, that does not mean that they never commit crimes
