Given the sometimes intense sensory experiences of Aspies I have often wondered how many famous artists, authors, actors, choreographers, fashion designers, sculpters, etc. have been on the AS. They say people such as Beethoven and Mozart may have been Aspies and I understand that Aspies are particulary good at expressing their emotions through the arts since they often cannot communicate well using verbal and non-verbal language. I don't know whether I'm on the AS but sometimes, after hearing a bit of music say, in an ad or whatever, I can be overcome with intense reverie. I wonder whether van Gogh was an Aspie because he certainly had a troubled emotional life and seemed to experience the world more intensely than most people.
