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...

    Possibly.  I know he was manic-depressive.  Peter Sellers was another complex person.  He certainly had some kind of issues.

    I've had a bit of an afternoon myself.  Family get-together.  Turned into a bit of a heavy time.  My aunt's dog went missing for a couple of hours.  Then mum had another fall.  Finally, I had my dreaded sister-in-law to contend with.  I couldn't wait to escape!

    I know I shouldn't laugh, vometia, but you have a way of puttings things that are comical - like something out of a Carry On film. 

    Even your name is amusing.

    Yep, they say Peter Sellers was a bit of an odd-ball and I think it had something to do with his lack of knowing who he was!

    If that's not Aspie, I dunno what is.

    Maybe genuis often entails a peculiar personality.
