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...

    Off the top of my head, there's Gary Numan, who ISTR was diagnosed as an adult some time after he rose to fame.

    Edit: Bill Gates?  I always got the impression he had a carefully manufactured image to give the impression he was a "computer whiz" but that it was a bit artificial.  I suppose I have quite strong feelings about people like him and that they give people like us a bad name.
