I can't quite tell whether you're being facetious or not.

No, Beavis and Butthead were ret*d. They didn't have fixated interests let alone intelligence. Being ret*d is not the same as being aspie.

I had this friend in middle and high school, I now suspect he was on the spectrum, we'd always hang out during school and goof off...we had a very Beavis and Butthead air about ourselves...but as for the actual characters, who can say?

QFT. They were supposed to be satirical, but kids just ended up treating B and B as idols. Who would have thought? :lol:

I can't think of Beavis and Butt-Head as having AS. Also, their mental-retardation is pretty mild -- they are quite socially adept and easily exploit people like Stewart and Van Driessan. Beavis definitely has some hyperactivity issues ("I am Cornholio!").

As far as I can see, they don't really fit into any category -- they just have me in hysterics whenever I watch them. It's the dialogue that really makes me laugh!
