How about Abby from NCIS or The professor on Numbers?
If this included music how about Alice Cooper or David Bowie?
Bowie's family has a history of mental issues.

I agree Abby from NCIS has it also Sugar Motta form glee and also Amy Farrah Fowler from the Big Bang Theory

Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)
Amy Farrah Fowler (The Big Bang Theory)
Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds)
Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock)
Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes (2009 film))
Data (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Rorschach (Watchmen) (maybe)
Cameron (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) (maybe)

I read online somewhere about Aspergers and it made a reference to Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. I guess they said that because of his superior intelligence and awkward social demeanor. In a way they are poking fun at an individual like that. I watched for myself this show a couple times and observed this character's behavior. He would get overly upset when the routine was broken ex: Game Night

From what I've read and heard (he lives here in Phoenix), Alice Cooper (the person) is actually a very sociable person - he runs a bar / nightclub here, plays in golf tournaments, and is very good in interviews. The "Alice Cooper" image is something he created to make the band popular... if you're interested, see if your library can find a copy of "Billion Dollar Baby" by Bob Greene. And even his stage personna was very much a showman, very outgoing, even if the subject matter of a lot of the songs was very dark.

Bowie, not sure. And Abby is by far my main reason for watching NCIS, so, yeah, probably so

Sherlock Holmes.

Daria from the cartoon Daria.

Smerdyakov from The Brothers Karamazov.

How about Garek or Odo or even Quark's brother Rom from DS9?

wow, I never noticed about Spock. Also, this may have been said but Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds.

The problem with Spock though is that he would never be neurotypical due to his genealogy. Remember that his mother was Human but his father was a Vulcan. Therefore, his neurobiology would be a combination of the two species. He would never quite fit in either world. However, it is possible that the entire Vulcan race would be considered to have the traits of humans with Aspergers. They are VERY emotional but control it through the use of excessive logic. So, since Spock was never completely human to begin with, it is not fair or accurate to state that he has a human neurobiological condition.

Ernest from Ernest goes to camp?

So what I wrote last night didn't post >_<

So anyway, i found this picture that showed that Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya have Asperger's and high functioning autism, respectively. Yuki's case is a bit justified since she's an alien entity with no emotions. Haruhi's Case makes a ton of sense because of her behavior. She's impulsive, obsessive, very narrow minded, and not really able to hold a normal conversation, mostly because she doesn't care about normal stuff.

Other characters I suspect to be autistic include Osaka from Azumanga Daioh, L from Death Note, Rin Tezuka from Katawa Shoujo and Yui Hirasawa from K-On. However, Yui's case may just be ADD and incredible laziness.
