Is Baron-Cohen famous in America?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just curious about just how famous Simon BC actually is. Of course to aspies based in the UK he i really famous cos he's always on the radio and in the papers, eg his recent involvement in the GAry McKinnon case.

But do you guys from America, or the rest of the world for that matter know of him? And would you have heard of him had it not been for his name popping up in this forum

I am in the US and I know of him through this site, and also my therapist had me practice with a PC program he developed to help with emotion recognition in faces.

I wouldn't have known if he was currently alive or not, but it's common here to take a test known by his name, so you should find decent name recognition, even if most don't know much about him.

I'm from the upper Midwest in the US (Minnesota & Wisconsin.) Until I started researching AS, I don't think I had ever heard his name. This site was the first place I saw him mentioned.

I've heard him mentioned in other forums and mailing lists. I am more fascinated with his cousin Sacha.

No, I had never heard of him before I had started looking up specific stuff about AS on the Internet.

I think he's quite well-known among people who know a lot about autism.

He's not well-known among the general public by any means, but then, is he in the UK?

I had never heard of him until I came to WP.

He has an amazing amount of talented/gifted people in his family!

Who?

The english guy running the hacker coverup. He should be charged and extridited, aiding and abeting a terrorist.

Asperger's is never a defense.

This was not done with a Dell, he had higher help, and lots of data was lifted,

This was State Intelligence, and they do not want to explain.

Gary McKinnon has been charged, that cannot be undone with psychobabble, he is a proven felon, and under treaty with the United Kingdom, he needs to be delivered here for trial.

We have other spies doing life, no exceptions, no fronts or fall guys, do the deal we will hunt you down. We want to know who he delivered the information to.

This goes right to the top.

In USa, most people think simon baron cohen is the guy from the movie borat.

He is well known in circles that have something to do with autism.

The first place I read about him was some popular magazine, maybe newsweek or time. So he's not unheard of, but not as famous as a movie star either.

Then show up for court, see if a jury will convict.

As for where the hacking happened, you don't kick down the front door if you can slip in a window.

Once inside the system it is much easier to move around.

If it is as you say, nothing taken, nothing left, the big question is how, the hole in the system which we want to plug.

Now when someone breaks into the Queen's bedroom, the first question is, how did you get in here?

An Asperger Syndrome Knicker obsession and wanting to know what she wore is not a defense.

He is being charged with Cyber Terrorism, because that is what he did.

It is only one more step to crash the NASA system during a launch, a bit more than a hobby.

NASA runs spy satellites. That is a direct link to NSA.

Nothing less than a full accounting of every keystroke will do.

We put people in jail for running denial of service attacks on private web sites.

Asperger's, living with Mum, being British, still guilty.

Baron-Cohen just became famous in the US, for the Quack Defense.

We have an ongoing murder case, Asperger's was tried by the defense, the Judge rightly ruled that it would not be allowed, the only question is did he murder her. He used a computer and Craigs list to lure her to his house then shot a stranger. Then he got rid of the body. There is a thread here about it.

Everyone here said the Judge did the right thing, Asperger's is no excuse for being a criminal.

The National Security of The United States of America is serious, get him here to answer all questions.
