I sit here wondering if there is or has been any Royals with Aspergers or Autism.

I've heard that Prince Charles might be but I was wondering if there was any others, both dead and alive.

Prince John (UK) had epilepsy and was possibly autistic; he lived a short life at the beginning of the 20th century

Princess Aiko of Japan, in modern times, is 11 years old and some rumors have circulated that she might have an ASD. Her mother has also had psychiatric issues I think.

Yes I'd heard about poor Prince John but i didn't know about Princess Aiko. Mind you it doesn't surprise me from what I've read about the young Japanese

Alexander the Great who would count as Ancient Royalty may have been ASD, I've read about him and I've noticed that he showed a few symptoms and traits.

I once heard that Cleopatra may have been Autistic. Julius Caesar may have been as well, he could be considered Royalty because he created the Roman Imperial Family and his descendants were members of it.
