Real life celebrities who have or probably have Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I'm watching David Mitchell (the comedian) and in my opinion he seems to have Aspergers Syndrome.

I've been taking an Acting class in college and my professor is fairly in tune with AS. She told me that some of the best actors are thought to have AS. The examples she gave me where Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor.

I've been wondering if the late John Peel (the famous British DJ/radio host) might have been an aspie. One story in particular struck me: his wife said that at friends' parties he always avoided the crowd and would do things like go in the kitchen and wash dishes. He certainly had a lifelong love of music and spent many hours each day listening to demos and new records.

JSB

Rumor mill says that Matthew Laborteaux has AS.

Imo Kristen Stewart is most likely Aspie. Just watch her on Jay Leno from 03/10 (hulu.com). I would be surprised if the majority thought she isnt. I thought she was textbook Aspie (not that there is such a thing).

I get into hot water, every time I add my 2 cents to threads, such as these, so I'll just put a lid on it.

Okay:

Peter Tork of The Monkees
I wonder if Mike Myers has it
I have a feeling that John Lennon had it
Ray Davies of a band that's very well known at WP
and his best friend, Mick Avory, though a bit more affected
I have a hunch that Janis Joplin had it
I also have the same hunch about Elvis Presley
Graig Nichols, hands down
I have a feeling that Fran Dreshchier has it.
The actor who played Albert on Little House on The Prairie had it
I'm under the impression that Lady Gaga has it.

Although not really a celebrity I am 100 percent sure Ted Bundy had it.

Also Abraham Lincoln was said to have it. Like he was great at speaches but it was apparentally impossible to have one on one conversations with him.

Elvis could be obsessed (for example his religious period in the 60s) but I doubt very much he had AS.....imho.

"Michael Jackson maybe?"

LOL , he freakin SCREAMS AS-like behaviour

Peter Sellers most def !

Streisand.......nervousness or autistic traits , lives in her own world (not cuz she's a diva)

Sharon Stone (geeky & weird as a kid , lives in her own world)

Sly & Eastwood......I don't think so unless they hide it well.

I wonder if H.P. Lovecraft was Aspie... He was lonely, had very specific passions (mythology, fantastic litterature, English litterature, astronomy), a really elaborate way to speak (vocabulary, etc) and lived in a routine way.

My list of who I think is AS:

Prince
Amy Whinehouse
Amy Lee
Courtney Love

After watching this season of American Idol so far I am convinced Siobhan Magnus has it
