Post Reply New Topic

Who are your favorite Aspie Movie Stars ?

I've never heard of any. what are yours??

Johnny Depp and Sean Penn

I guess i'd say Marlon Brando, Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe.

Are you sure Johnny Depp is an Aspie?

Peter Sellers could have been slightly aspie, I doubt the others are aspies.

Peter Sellers was awesome! his films part of me favs, what a coincidence lol

I am looking for a copy of The Magic Christian the he did with Ringo Starr

The only actor that I know to be an aspie is Dan Aykroyd.
other famous aspies that I know of aren't necessarily actors.

I've heard that the lady who played the mirmaid in Splash has an actual AS diagnoses.

Who? Daryl Hannah?
If I had to peg someone for AS, it would be Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), and now that think about it, maybe Al Gore. (yea, definitely Al Gore)

The only one in this thread who actually have admitted having Asperger's is Dan Aykroyd. Johnny Depp might have it as well (allthough distinguishing between shy NTs and aspies is very hard).

Daniel Day-Lewis
Parker Posey
Keira Knightely
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Eugene Levy

"Could have been" is as far removed from "Diagnosed as" as Speculation is from Knowledge.

Keep in mind that the syndrome was not even identified until 1944, and only since 1994 has it been officially recognized as a unique disorder. Thus, anyone who died before 1944 could not have been recognized as having Asperger's Syndrome, and anyone who died before 1994 could not be officially diagnosed.

I did find that John Schneider's son is officially diagnosed as having the disorder, but are there any celebrities that have admitted to being officially diagnosed since 1994 as having Asperger's Syndrome?

Heather Kuzmich from America's Top Model is one. Others?
