Aspie characters on TV

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone think Jonas Quinn from Stargate is an Aspie?

Data from Star Trek seems like an aspie in many ways.

Dr. Fraiser Crane...

the way he's always trying to do the right thing and say the right thing but he ends up in a horrible mess and wonders why others around him are reacting the way they are...he's such a cerebral person and he's always thinking to the point it gets him in trouble with the average joe who doesn't really understand whys hes argueing about something that seems so trivial to them

example...in the episode where he drives into a parking garage and decides not to park so he trys to drive out and the parking attendant wants him to pay $2...he refuses to pay and trys to explain that he didn't park...the attendant won't let him go untill he pays...so fraiser stays in his car and protests while other cars stack up behind him honking and screaming...he then decides that if the attendant won't let him leave then he will stay for the 20 minutes and get his 2 dollars worth...chaos insues and he goes out his sunroof and trys to explain to the people that this is some great injustice and travesty...but there like "just pay the 2 dollars who cares!" but he trys to explain its the principle not the money...which doesnt get him anywhere...etc etc etc...




I go thru something like this almost everyday

Dewey from Malcolm In The Middle?

The mai character from 40 year old virgin was most likely aspie.

I think the Cop on "The Simpsons" has some AS like traits.

Keith Miller from Eastenders?

A brief bio

http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/eastend ... th_m.shtml

Dot Branning of Eastenders
Austin Powers
Doogie Howzer
Spock
Mike Nesmith of The Monkees

Bubbles from 'trailer Park Boys'

1. always looks a awkward & out of place.

2. a good guy at heart, but easily led astray by the criminal elements.

3. highly reactive to stimulative environments.

4. maybe he prefers the company of cats to people?

5. cannot read metaphors. When Lahey does his 's**t' cop metaphors, Bubbles will freaks out over the imminent appearance of shit-hawks, shit-ropes etc

Eureka, on the sci-fi channel, is about a little town in Oregon that's been a DOD think tank since the 1940s. 65 years of breeding for brains is starting to show, believe me!

Teenaged "Dr. Douglas Fargo" has invented a smart house named Sarah whose personality is the classic 1950s wife/mother. Our hero, the new sheriff, is finding out the hard way that you do *not* disobey your Stepford House.

Kevin, the son of the widowed DOD rep, is a math savant. His mom is totally freaked that the new sheriff got into casual conversation with him. High points: Episode One, where the sheriff (still a US Marshal) hauls him into the project site to reconstruct a missing inventor's math. Episode Two, where another child (suddenly orhpaned) is staying with the DOD rep and asks why Kevin, told the time, says "300 seconds..." and his mom casually says "His brain doesn't work like ours."

Abby from NCIS -- I think she's just a unique Goth character, not AS. (Also my favorite!)

Mr. Bean should be the AS poster-boy!!

Now, on to movies -- if that's okay...

If Clam from Camp Lazlo isn't Aspie, I don't know who is.

I think Doc Brown from the Back to the Future movies is aspie material. He's very bright, he's reclusive, and he even admits in the second movie that he can't understand the opposite sex. (but then, who can?)

I suspect Oskar in Hey Arnold might have it. Here’s why:


Oskar has troubles caring about other people and he tends to think about himself instead of others.
He is clumsy like in that one episode he is dancing on the roof with his wife and he keeps stepping on her toes.
Literal, in the same episode when Suzi is soaking her feet because Oskar kept stepping on them, Aronld comes out with two cup cakes but he trips and one of them falls in the tub Suzi's feet is in and Oskar tries hard to care about his wife's feelings so he asks her if she wants it because it's so small and tiny and she says "Not if you want it for yourself" (being sarcastic) and Oskar says 'Okay great,’ and eats the whole thing and she gets upset and so does Arnold and Oskar is clueless.
Doesn't have very good social skills, he’s an outcast, others don’t want him around, he has troubles relating to them and fitting in.
Lacks empathy


I’m thinking Dil from All Grown Up might have it or just the traits. He is odd and different and he is an outcast but can relate to his own friends he’s had his own life since he was born. He is also clumsy too.


This Stevens guy had it in one of the Law and Order episodes Probability.

There was also a character on Boston legal who had it too but I can’t remember the name of the episode. Does anyone know the name of that episode?
