When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

It IS possible for people to be introverts, and not Aspies.

It's really impossible to judge and diagnose such public figures from the perspective of someone who knows them only as distant totems. All people tend to behave strangely when forced into the public eye, regardless of their neurological make-up; and as for the historical figures, elapsed time tends to distort accounts of the true personalities and character traits of such people.

And one should keep in mind that there are other disorders which display similar symptoms to Asperger's; and Autism is not a requisite of genius, brilliance or even simply eccentricity.

Russell Crowe is no Aspie. I used to drink with him at the Coffs Harbour Hotel, and he's the complete NT alpha male.

I think that #159. Henry Rollins is a miss, though he was diagnosed ADD/ADHD and place on Ritalin when he was in school.

His ex-bandmate, Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn, and Ginn's brother, the artist known as Raymond Pettibon are probably far more likely candidates. His record label SST records, was the sideline of a business that repaired and sold solid state shortwave/HAM radio equipment and WWII era surplus radio equipment, hence the abbreviation of the name Solid State Tuners.

Greg is currently involved with cat rescue, and is currently a bona fide 'Crazy Cat Guy' who lives with over 30 cats.

did you just compile a list of everyone that has erratic, strange or out of the ordinary personalities? Craig Nicholls and Gary Numan are confirmed to be Aspies, Daryl Hannah has been diagnosed on the Autism spectrum as far as I know

95% of the people mentioned here are NTs.
