Lilith and Frasier Crane

Do Lilith Sternin and/or Frasier from Cheers have aspergers

Lilith could, however the character was never developed to the extent that we know what her social life was like.

Personally, I never saw why she was supposed to be so "scary"

Cliff might have Asperger's with all of his strange facts

I would also say Cliff, not Frasier.

Give me a break! Cliff was a momma's boy that constantly repeated the crazy ideas his mother came up with. The ideas weren't even his. BTW John Ratzenberger tried out for a part. I believe it was norm's part. They turned him down! He was REJECTED! He asked them if they had a bar wiseguy, and they were like "WHAT? What's that?". He did THAT part, and they wrote him into the script.

Frasier is highly intelligent but I don't think he has AS. He's ultimately far too sociable in his snobbish artsy intellectual ways. Lilith's character wasn't developed too much in either show (Cheers or Frasier) so it's hard to tell. I think Diane is a possibility as well. She always seemed very introspective and aloof to me. I just don't see it at all in Cliff.

I wondered if Cliff had AS traits too, but I think Lilith seems the most AS for some reason.
She's socially awkward, she gets meltdowns, she have a very monotone voice, she insist on having her hair the same way, she isn't very good with emotions, she sais to Norm she never was good at making friends and never had many friends, she is obsessed with her own work and is often seen "in her own world" reading or writing notes while the other people in the bar socialise.
I often felt kind of sorry for Lilith, cause I thought the other people in the bar wasn't nice to her.

Her official personality profile doesn't say very much about her:
-A remarkably unemotional and restrained woman (her hair usually tightly pulled back in a severe bun), she has exceptionally pale skin, a monotonous voice, and dresses almost exclusively in drab, conservative clothing. She tends to express herself in long-winded, exacting, technical sentences suffused with psychological or medical jargon. Upon greeting the expecting Daphne and Niles, she congratulates them on "the successful co-mingling of their genetic material."-

Lilith is one of those token characters the writers included just to make the show less boring.

I guess

I've always thought if Lilith might have it (And maybe Cliff too).
I've always found Lilith sweet and innoncent, nothing like what many thought of her.
I really like her and her actress Bebe Neuwirth.
