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.

  • Tongue in cheek, this one:

    What about Norman Bates (in 'Psycho')

    I mean, he didn't have any friends and he filled his spare time stuffing dead birds. Course, he was a psycho so can you be on the spectrum and be a psycho too?

    When he was asked if he had friends he replied: 'A boy's best friend is his mother', or words to that effect.
