Crake is a cool name, I thought it was CAKE, and so it sounded like a kiddies book. Okay, maybe I will check out that book.

Fiddler:

I laughed when I saw that you had nominated Ignatius J. Reilly. He is probably the most aspie character ever invented: obsessive in the extreme, clueless with people, anxious to the point of paralysis, and given to odd outbursts.

Do we know anything about his creator, John Kennedy Toole, as far as AS goes?

The book seems quite interesting, but some can say it is discriminatory. Oh well.

When I first read "hitchiker's guide" I thought Ford reminded me of an aspie, even though he's from Betelguise.

I haven't seen all the movie yet (watching it at school), but the phantom form "Phantom of the Opera" is difinitely AS or HFA. Obsessive-Romanticism, social ineptitude, generally uncomfortable around people, and doesn't like change unless he wants it. Definitely musically gifted also. It scares me, because I was reminded of myself when watching the movie. I can relate to this character in so many different ways.

EDIT: Finished watching movie, he's definitely still AS or HFA.

"Prot" from K-PAX (If you beleive like I do that he's an alien that possessed the body of his human friend - and possibly symbiote - Robert Porter)

I think he was gifted, but I don't know wether he had Asperger's or not.

Heinlein characters. Who else could recall a textbook's worth of astrogation calculations / would spend weeks repairing an old spacesuit that they never expect to use / would be best friends with a computer?

Thats cause Henlien was AS himself. I know this, i read enough of his work to recognise the style, its very much like ghosthunters in many respects.

I've looked through it, and seems way too broad, the standards they're using. Being odd doesnt make someone an aspie necessarily

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but what about Dustin Hoffman's character in Meet the Fockers?
