Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think that Neil guy who regularly appears in the british Up series may have aspergers but I'm not sure if it's mild autism or a somewhat hilarious form of insanity in his case. It's clear that he suffers from depressive episodes as well which is less funny ofcourse. He seemed to be doing fine when he was 49 but he didn't look happy nor healthy in 56 Up which was kind of worrying.

I think he should wright a juicy biography and seriously cash in on it. Once his biography has been published he can always sell his life story to a tv channel or a production company to make even more money. That's what I call making the best of a bad situation. Benedict Cumbersome would be a suitable candidate to play the lead in the tv series or the movie.

Does this include fictional characters or just real live people who have been TV personalities?

The question just made me think of Abed on "Community" and Brick on "The Middle"

I always thought Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer seemed kinda aspergersy...I don't think her character has it, it's just that she's only recently become human so she doesn't understand our strange customs and how or why we do things. Her monologue in the episode The Body, about how she doesn't understand Death, makes me feel things.

I've always thought that WALL-E seemed autistic. Especially the way he taps the ends of his claws together when he's questioning something. My Autie sister does that all the time.

All these movies have characters that are aspies or auties:
Ben x
Adam
Snow cake
Max and Mary
The boy who could fly
After Thomas
Mozart and the whale

The character Neil in one of the episodes of The New Lassie.

Characters that aren't but could be:
The alien characters from Third Rock from the Sun could be aspies, especially The High Commander.
Kevin's friend in the series "The wonder years" might not fit the criteria but he did come off as a little professor.

EVE seems more stereotypically aspergian with her personality, but they are robots, so...

L in Death Note seems typically aspergian, very complex, coordinated mind and with some habits that rival mine in quirkiness, also very silent and introverted, only willing t show himself when it is utterly neccessary.

If you can come up with a few fictional caracters you are free to do so.

One that comes to mind is Robson Green's character Tony in "Wire In The Blood".

Are "Death note and "Wire in the Blood" tv series? Doesn't sound very promising.
