Stuey Griffen is an aspie, think about it. He's a baby genius, anti-social, plots and schemes, and has shown signs of becoming gay (which could be because he lacks social intelligence enough to get a girl, some aspie guys end up going that route). He obsesses over his little gadgets. I think Stuey is an aspie
They do not 'go gay'. They either give in to the homosexual urges that were present previously (since there is no longer the heterosexal alternative) or they just do nothing. Not every person in prison regularly engages in anal sex.

I know this was a joke, but Stewie Griffin from Family Guy most definitely does not have Asperger's syndrome. Asperger's syndrome is a pervasive developmental disorder, but Stewie is absurdly precocious and intellectually gifted (I know we aspies can be intellectually gifted, but we're far from precocious in other ways) in almost every way. The only thing snake321 has mentioned that has any association with Asperger's syndrome at all is an obsession with gadgets. These other factors like antisocial behavior, plotting and scheming, and budding homosexuality have absolutely nothing to do with Asperger's syndrome or even a negative correlation (theory of mind deficits mean that we aspies generally do not have the skill to deceive or manipulate others).
Homosexuality really has no correlation with social skills or lack thereof. A presently heterosexual man is not going to choose to pursue other men instead of women all of a sudden just because he recognizes his poor social skills are preventing his success with women; a lack of social skills would also make pursuing other men difficult! Stewie's intellectual snobbery and camp are a result of his intellectualism and condescention towards everyone around him rather than from any sexual attraction to other men.
If anyone wants to pin a psychiatric diagnosis on an infantile cartoon character, psychopathy would probably be the closest fit (except that its diagnosis is restricted to adults). As snake321 said, Stewie shows tendencies towards antisocial behavior and scheming things up. As I mentioned here, Stewie also has a disdainful attitude towards those around him. These are some of the diagnostic criteria of the psychopathic personality although he'd need several more to meet the PCL–R diagnosis.

A hole is a hole is a hole. They're not gay, they're desparate for a warm hole to plug.

Stewie Griffin does not have asperger's. He can think on his feet and he has no problem charming other people. His only limitations come from being 1 year old and....why the hell am I debating this? HE"S A FREAKING CARTOON CHARACTER!
