Real life celebrities who have or probably have Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I believe Siohban Magnus definately has Asperger's.

I forgot to mention earlier.. I believe Ronnie James Dio has it as well. He actually just recently passed away but if you observe his interviews and his approach to things, he's totally aspie in my opinion. He's amazing.

I watched oprah the other day and kristen stewart from the twilight movies, seems like she has it. But I could be wrong.

No, she's just a stoner.

And Dio? Seriously? He was just eccentric...

Did you even watch it? And I get called like I look stoned alot. Even though I dont do anything.

It's pretty much common knowledge that she's an avid pot smoker/drug user.

Kanye West.

how?

Hello, sorry if this is a old thread. Im new to the forum.

I have aspergers and I have always had a hunch that Nicholas Lyndhurst from only fools and horses has it too. I just pick it up from him sometimes. The way he moves his hands close to him at times and stuff.

I love Siobhan Magnus and I also think she definitely has AS. I'd bet money on it. Since I'm a big fan of hers I know a lot about her:

- Idol actually has a clause in her contract that she can't wear heels cuz she will fall in them
- during Idol rehearsals they would play a game where everyone had to guess the next lyric of a song and Siobhan monopolized it to the point that they had to quit playing
- obscure, strange and intense interests
- interest in kiddie stuff as well as gory horror movies, very juxtaposed
- her own friends call her "very eccentric"
- can't seem to take criticism (broke down on Idol due to this)
- monotone voice (I know that's a stereotype)
- bluntly honest about everything
- constantly turns conversations back on herself, can go on an on about her special interests with no regard for the other person's possible boredom
- bizarre fashion sense
- bullied harshly in school, was spit on and had stuff thrown at her
- dropped out of college because she didn't like the social scene
- has a strange vocabulary and use of metaphor ("I have a 90s stain on my soul"), outdated phrases like "Oh, brother" and "over the moon"
- fans at the Idol concerts have said she takes extremely long amounts of time to perfect her autographs
- Kara remarked on the show that Siobhan "seems more comfortable on a stage than anywhere else in her life"

I don't know her personally but I would be really surprised if she is not an Aspie.

Some of Lady Gaga's antics lately could fit the Aspie category, but she could just be a little crazy

Hm Andy Kaufman? I have always thought he seemed Aspie to me.

My list of unconfirmed diagnosis's that I will edit when I think of more.

Ted Bundy
Abraham Lincoln
Andy Kaufman
Shiobahn Magnus
Paul Simon
Dan Akyroyd
Meg White
Daryl Hannah
Crispin Glover
Michael Jackson
Richard Nixon
Courtney Love
Amy Lee

I've heard the brother of Augusten Burroughs author of,"Running with Scissors"" has AS

He does, and he even wrote a book about it (Look Me In The Eye).



Courtney Love was diagnosed with autism as a kid, and IIRC Dan Akyroyd has mentioned that he has Asperger's.

The rest, though? I think you're confusing "eccentric" with "Asperger's." Also, Michael Jackson had a traumatic childhood and that can really mess a person up, even if they're neurotypical.

Ted Bundy- Was considered a genius by peers and others yet was horrible socially and was ridiculed for it. Also his foot fetish was an immense fixation with his murders which could point to Aspergers as well. Also the Psychologist that was appointed to him while he was on Death Row pretty much just out and out said he was Aspergers by the way he described him by his lack of socialness, no eye contact, fidgety, not understanding social norms and several other things that point to it

Abraham Lincoln- Was said to be an amazing speaker yet terrible in one to one conversations

Andy Kaufman- Very unaware of what is socially appropriate and his sudden anger outbursts over sometimes seemingly meaningless could point to it.

Shiobhan Magnus- That was is just obvious

Crispin Glover- Okay he just screams aspie in every possible way


Paul Simon- Listen to alot of his music and it talks about his lack of understanding social norms as well as him in interviews he comes across as an aspie

Dan Akyroyd- You says he was already diagnosed so I don't need to talk about him

Meg White- Hates being interviews because she says she doesn't like talking to people much because she is uncomfortable in social situations and when she is in interviews she comes across very aspieish along with a monotoneish voice.

Daryl Hannah- Her childhood seeing her in interviews kind of point to having aspergers

Michael Jackson- I guess his childhood could have something to do with it but he has always screamed aspie to me in every possible way.

Richard Nixon- Now he could have just been paranoid but for some reason he always kind of had an Aspie vibe to me watching videos of him and seeing him in interviews

Courtney Love- Same with Dan Akyroyd

Amy Lee- I was reading about her childhood as well as reading about her in general after having another user here state it as a possibility and am almost sure she is aspie.
