Theodore Kaczynski
Clearly you are correct!
Quote:
Theodore Kaczynski was troubled by more than schizophrenia. He had a serious problem in his 7th chart with his Angle/moon/saturn/pluto. An "Asperger’s" or semi-autistic set, it showed a powerful breach in his relationship with his mother, and, through her as model, to women in general, and perhaps, to the whole female side of his own nature. Women are gentle, soft.(footnote 3) Ted Kaczynski did not dare to be. When this set was activated at nine months, he was way too young for such overwhelming destruction of his human potential.

The pre-trial psychiatry report on Kaczynski is publicly available.
Link Ted Kaczynski had childhood development delays consistent with autism, and in fact his mother considered enrolling him in a study on autistic children before deciding to stick with the advice of Doctor Spock.
In the report, Kaczynski is given an Axis I diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia, and an Axis II diagnosis of Paranoid Personality Disorder with Avoidant and Antisocial Features. And the doctor has to work hard to pin that schizophrenia diagnosis on him. Kaczynski admits to no history of hallucination, so the doctor frames his self-reported dreams and fantasies as hallucinatory:
Quote:
Mr. Kaczynski adamantly denies any experiences of thought insertion, thought broadcasting, mind control, or command hallucinations. He does describe a variety of fantasies and nightmares, and it is unclear through this evaluation, whether his report of those as occurring only while he is sleeping is accurate. Some of his writings discuss his ability to use his will to control the outcome of these experiences, and raises the question as to whether these are actually hallucinatory experiences rather than dreams and fantasies as he labels them.
Kaczynski's beliefs, convictions, and paranoia were reduced to delusions - specifically non-bizarre delusions, meaning beliefs that are possible and not out-of-contact with reality, but are in some way wrong. (For example, there was a woman in the news a short time ago, who had been sectioned to a mental ward for claiming during a medical exam that Obama followed her on Twitter [when Obama did, in fact, follow her on Twitter]. Her doctors, if asked to categorize, would've described her belief as a non-bizarre delusion.)
If you read the report though, he just sounds so much like an Aspie. To me, anyway. You might read it and disagree, that's fine. Personally I see a lot* of myself in Kaczynski, and while I can't speak with any authority on whether or not he's autistic, I've got the ADOS-2 results to prove that I'm on the spectrum. Since my evaluation is extremely subjective I can only invite you to make the same evaluation for yourself.
* Not anything related to bombs of course. Aside from the childhood similarities, we both experienced
institutional psychological abuse (which leads me to believe there is quite probably a significant PTSD component to Kaczynski's "paranoia," just based on personal experience). We both studied mathematics in college. I never became anywhere near as accomplished in math as Kaczynski, but then I got married rather than going on to grad school. From that report it seems like things might have turned out very differently for Kaczynski if he'd managed to do the same.
