I think that he was AS. His social skills were a little off, and he had a lot of quirks.

Not sure, but I would lean towards no.... the awesome dancing skills the man had.... Aren't Apies usally clumsy?

Also going on stage in front of thousands of people, I don't think a aspie would be able to handle that.

It would be awesome if he was a Aspie though, just like Steve Jobs & Bill Gates, for all three to be aspie would be beyond great IMO. It would give a aspie such as myself a huge confidence boost.

Because being a little awkward and very famous equals Aspergers.

No... He had too much dance coordination to have ASD
An abusive childhood made him mentally unstable. He could hardly take care of his children and lived like a regressed child.
I would say he had a very complex set of personality complexes that made him eccentric and suspicious character. I would not say he had any severe mental illness or ASD besides probably PTSD.

It is a spectrum after all and some of the problems that one may face may not be an issue for others. Personally I don't think he was ASD.

Apparently he used to walk down the street in hope of having a conversation with someone.

Michael Jackson is dead, so we will never know the truth.

Let him rest in peace.

My mom thinks he probably did. Though she also said that there's no way we'll ever know for sure now that he's dead.

exactly he past away and we'll never know, but he certainly appeared to have AS traits for sure.
