Slash and Layne Staley definitely man they never made eye contact with anyone always wore sunglasses to avoid eye contact and we always on heroin to escape 2 good points dude
nah i dont think theres many aspie celebraties and the ones who are predicted to have aspergers very much probably dont have it, i often find that people who try to make these predictions arent terribly good at them. The only ones who im sure about are david byrne(because he admitted to having it), jimi hendrix maybe, elvis presley maybe, neil young maybe and george orwell must of had it and im forgetting the scientist john dalton.

I know we've done this list, but I'm too lazy to dig it out.
Anyway, here's two possible candidates.
Greta Garbo, the famous Swedish actress. I was reading about her, and she insisted on closed sets when she was acting. She was famous for even throwing studio execs out ! ! Only the cameraman, and the other actors. She lived with an actor, who wanted to marry her, but she never agreed. She wrote love notes to her female Swedish acting instructor, and spent the rest of her life living alone.
Enzo Ferrari, the man who built the company. He wasn't friendly with his race drivers, even though they brought him fame. He more or less abandoned his relationship with his wife. He rarely left Northern Italy, only visited Rome a couple of times, and never left the country. Even as his race cars made headlines the world over, he was known as being 'provencial'.

Never heard of Enzo Ferrari having it before! Very interesting!
@Snoopy, why Eminem? I don't think he's very Aspie-ish myself.
I know it's probably been said by now, but Nicola Tesla had a lot of the symptoms.
