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...

  • Thinking about it, I do wonder if Charlie Chaplin was an Aspie.

    He immersed himself in his work, had a great eye for detail and was a perfectionist, was supposed to be quite 'shy' and had an eccentricity that he used to create comedic genius.

    Apparently, Aspies are attracted to acting because everything has to be scripted and predictable.
