What do you think? I'd say at least borderline or mild Asperger's. (Back then it was called being "unique").

Wikipedia says this

Quote:

In an interview in 1928, she explained that her desire for privacy began when she was a child, stating "as early as I can remember, I have wanted to be alone. I detest crowds, don't like many people."MGM eventually capitalized on it, for it bolstered the image of the silent and reclusive woman of mystery.

Here is a very interesting sourced article that goes in depth into the matter.
Garbo, Christina and Asperger

After reading that article and seeing that Wikipedia quote think think it is quite plausible she was an Aspie.

Well, it certainly does seem like she had Asperger's. She was also quite attractive.
