Actress Daryl Hannah has Asperger's Syndrome, and in some TV interviews it is painfully obvious.

The founder of Asperger's had it himself? That's quite ironic, lol.

Ironic but perhaps not entirely surprising, as people often seek out, perhaps even subconsciously, those who are the same :arrow:

Daniel Tammet;

Author of 'Born on a blue day' and subject of the TV documentary Brainman (it's on Youtube), he is a prodigious mathematics AND language Savant.

He is truly a candidate for AS poster boy.

The way she fidgets and rubs her arms which most people would think nervous/fidgety/on drugs/weird but I see as stimming, I just think

I've heard that Henry Rollins, Michael Moore & Bill Gates all have Asperger's, but I doubt it's true of any of them. Though I guess it's possible.

I think Henrik Ibsen may have been an aspie, he always disliked humanity, was quiet during class, and wrote several societyhating stories.

I could believe Bill Gates has it to a mild dgree, and possibly even Michael Moore, but definitely not Rollins. He has no aspie traits at all as far as I can see. He may be a misanthrope, but misanthropy isn't limited to aspies.

The piano player and recording artist Glenn Gould, although there is some controversy whether his behavioral characteristics was just neurosis.

Joaquin Phoenix? Well, at least in an interview with Letterman! A bit eccentric. Anyone heard anymore about him lately?
