Prof. Henry Higgins? (Pygmalion/My Fair Lady)

I can see that. He was somewhat obsessive and then also clueless when it came to feelings.

That's a regular professor. The Asperger ones are REALLY different...

I think I had an Asperger professor in seminary. He had his own world. He was a walking encyclopedia of church history--could spout out any fact from any time period, no matter what century. He wore red socks every single day, for every event, with every attire (even suits and tuxedos). He had done this since college I think, as a declaration of definance and a way to say "different is good." He had a monotone-like voice and sometimes slurred his word (no he wasn't an alcoholic!), and he rode his bicycle everywhere with his suit and red socks. He didn't socialize a lot and seemed uncomfortable and shy much of the time. But every Christmas he would go to the student union and a bunch of us adults would come (and bring our children if we had any) and listen to him read How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The thin nerdy smart guy on Criminal Minds

You forgot to mention that he's cute too! :heart:

I don't watch it so no idea who's the cute one though ;p

Dr. Reid is pretty clearly an Asperger's adult I think. He reminds me so much of my son when he goes on and on and on about a topic while those around him are clearly in a totally different world.

The two people that identify themselves as Asperger's adults are:

1) Jerry on Boston Legal (he's been mentioned already)

2) a new female doctor on Grey's Anatomy. She is probably in her 40's with long dark brown hair. She was trying to decide if she wanted to join the staff but was not happy that people were not nice to each other and made fun of her. While she was waiting for a family to decide whether or not they would pull the plug on their daughter and needed some time together, the doctor was working herself into a meltdown because there were so many other people who were dying without donor organs. She just kept talking at them, spouting out facts about how people are dying because they are not giving their daughter's organs up. She was asked to leave the room because she was upsetting the family so.

House from House M.D.

You wish.

What's that supposed to mean?

As someone else has said (it seems it was a different thread) House has excellent ToM (Theory of Mind). I say "you wish" because a lot of Aspies on WP like to think that any smart person or character has AS, even when there isn't much to base it on. Being smart is not a symptom of AS!

I disagree with the notion that people with AS lack theory of mind. I believe that I myself have theory in mind how the idea is presented to me. What house does have (obsessive interests, processing fine grain details, limited empathy, stereotyped and repetitive moments(bouncing the ball playing with a yo yo etc), difficulty transitioning to change (as seen in episodes where he had to live with wilson and cuddy taking over his office) Thats just my opinion.

Any "lone wolf" type character, for example, Shadow the Hedgehog could be one. Havok from CNC Renegade as well.

I dunno why but I always thought of Jin Uzuki from Xenosaga as an aspie but it may be more that I identify with him.

I don't know if anyone watches the new Terminator show but on the newest episode last night there was a guy whose (adult) son was inventing an AI program. The son seemed AS or mildly autistic to me.

He was a pretty minor character and didn't have much screen time but thats the idea I got anyway.

i love that show yo it is awasome gnarley sweet yo and rember in the episode where the psycrirists is talking to sarah and says about camron(cuz she is a temintor lol) your daughter is difrent very anti social she might have aspergers synrome or something along those lines.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the Creature from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein yet.

The Nexus Six Series of humanoid replicants from Bladerunner certainly qualify....
