I was going to mention Tim Burton, but someone beat me to it.I just read a article that mentioned that he and his wife live in separate but adjoining apartments. Sounds like a perfect arrangement to me. They are such an wondrously delightful odd couple and people love them for being so real.

I know right! That sounds like the best idea ever to me. I think the two of them are so interesting and unique. Turns out there are a lot of threads here on lists of famous aspies, and I think there's a list on wikipedia somewhere too. So, yes there are lots of successful aspies.

Does Tim Burton actually have it, or is this just a theory people here have come up with?

AFAIK, it's just a theory. Same with Bill Gates, Einstein, etc.

Stephen Shore i an autistic author and i believe he is both married and has a doctorate.

Michael McManmon of collegeinternshiprogramme.com (CiP) is a psychologist and has aspergers syndrome.


Id consider both of them to be very successful. Also both seem to be making or have had made a decent amount of money.
