Anyone famous whose spouse has Aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

Is there actually anyone famous out there who is a spouse to anyone on the Autism spectrum? I am wondering.

Gary Numan has Aspergers

But Gary Numan is more famous than his spouse.

I cannot really think of anyone famous with a spouse on the autistic spectrum.
There was a woman called Barbara Jacobs who wrote a book about being married to an aspie ('Loving Mr Spock'), but she's not really famous.

But there are probably plenty of famous people with children on the autistic spectrum.
I can think of Burt Bacharach, Nick Hornby and Jenny McCarthy for example.

Apparently Germaine Greer believes her late mother had Aspergers Syndrome.

Are you asking us to speculate? Or are you hoping that there are WP members who are are either AS with famous spouses or famous with AS spouses. and that they'll come forward?


I would assume that any famous people on WP would prefer to keep their anonymity. I know I would.

I can't answer for JohnG, but I suspect the answer is no.

I'd just like to point out I was not speculating about Burt Bacharach, Nick Hornby and Jenny McCarthy!
