Famous People with Asperger Syndrome or Similar Autistic Traits

With many of these people, the condition is highly speculative rather than actually diagnosed.  Some of the symptoms suggested, too, could indicate other conditions - particularly with people like Woody Allen.

Still... I find it reassuring in many ways to maybe share something in common with people who've made such an impact in their own particular ways...

    Yes, I think that list is pretty speculative Tom.

    For example, I know Tony Attwood is an expert on autism but I don't think he's autistic. I've seen many of his lectures and interviews online and I've never been led to think he is on the spectrum. But, hey, what do I know?

    Michael Palin? Really?

    Come to think of he was in the 'Lumberjack Sketch!'

    So, mabey.

    I don't think it's saying Tony Attwood is.  There's a sub-heading above his name about 'People who are important in the field of Asperger's', or something like.
