Truman Capote I don't think so.

This is the only guy I can come up with.... and I hardly have heard of him but I know Lance Bass is gay and has ADHD.

From 'nsync? No, I have never heard any of their songs. Sometimes Wikipedia just leads you places, heheh.

I can kind of see Andy Warhol as a candidate, but I don't know about the others.

All I know of is savant Daniel Tammet. I also recommend his book Born On A Blue Day.

Difficult to say. Remember that Aspergers is only a recognised condition in very recent times. Identifying aspies in history is a very subjective process. Certainly few to none will self identify as most of human history has never heard of it, and the most recent may not know (or want others to know). Homosexuality - almost the same thing. You can't go on history too closely - Oscar Wilde had two daughters.
