Darth Vader an Aspie?

f**k yeah, and you're as clumsy as you are stupid if you disagree.

Hm, I never thought about that. He certainly sees things in black and white terms.
But what about his physical coordination and dexterity in battle? He hardly seems like an a physically awkward Aspie.

I think Haden Christenson might be an Aspie.

The force is mediocre with this one.

I think he's more of a functioning psychotic. I mean, like Norman Bates; it all goes back to his mom.

he's good a fixing things and a good starfighter pilot, so I wouldn't say he's an aspie

No, he moves slowly because most of his body is made of cybernetic prosthetics. He was a very skilled Jedi when he was human. He did have obsessive and narrow interests, like his obsessive interest for machines in his childhood (hell, he was a great pilot even after he became Darth Vader) and his single-minded pursuit of a way to protect Padmé from death (which resulted in his joining the Dark Side). And his social skills were a little off, but that was probably more due to George Lucas' inability to make a good script than anything else.

Maybe he just had an ambiguous disorder, like most other fictional characters.

Most likely yes.Only cause my therapist thinks I have lots in common with him.No joke.
