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.

Bruce/David Banner was an outstanding scientist but when an experiment went wrong he released his inner demons. What more could someone ask for!"

Imagine a world devoid of Aspies - just 'average', grey and boring people.
