STEPHEN KING, ASPIE?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else think stephen king could be a aspie?

The reason i ask is i've read a lot of his books and it's not unusual for certain places, characters and incidents to be mentioned in stories that have been written after these places, characters and incidents were first published in their own stories. It's like you can build up a clearer picture when all these things are connected, am i the only one thinking this or do others see the familiar connections? In his books i find a lot of patterns/consistency. Maybe it's just me and i'm not sure i've explained it properly but that's the the only way i can see to explain.

What do you think?

I think it's a good possibility. I also have noticed, in a good deal of Stephen King's movies he has creepy dolls in them. Like he grew up afraid of dolls because they represented people staring at him maybe?

It's possible. He has an unusual imagination. I think his stories are quite fascinating. I know one movie, "Rose Red," had an autistic girl in it.

i think he is defo

I think it may be a possibility, although I could give you some other reasons for his behaviour. His father abandoned him when he was very young. His mother struggled to make ends meet; she was often away and not able to supervise his activities. Although she did insist that he had to write. It's been noted that he was abused by a few of his babysitters (one of which smacked him, knocked him to the ground, farted in his face, ew, locked him in a closet and pretty much ignored him for the most part) His lack of discipline and frequent trips to movies that contained some severely messed up stuff (at least for that time period) might have also contributed to his books.

He went through periods of depression, took drugs, and became an alcoholic. It got so bad that he didn't even remember writing the book Cujo. He also expresses his own fears in the book "The Shining", where he plays out the fears of an alcoholic attacking his family. In his book "Misery", he talks about a writer getting into an accident, being taken in by a crazy fan that gets him addicted to painkillers, and she says she'll kill him if he doesn't write a sequel to her favourite book. As the tagline says, "she has a lot of ways to spur him on, first is a needle, another is an axe, and if they don't work, she can get really nasty." In his book "The Tommyknockers", he gives people super powers that sound out of this world!

There have even been studies that show, he has some similarities to serial killers: unstable household, no parental supervision. He was also labelled a troublemaker in high school (but aren't we all?). The way he perceives the world is nothing short of astounding though. I've never read any books other than his that make me scared to turn out the lights. This is all abstract thinking of course. He may just be completely nuts, but I guess you'd have to be to write like that.

How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand.

There's definitely a lot of consistency in his books. The Gunslinger saga pretty much ties into every one of his books in some subtle way. I don't think it necessarily means AS, though. I think it's really just tongue-in-cheek humor. A way of rewarding his most loyal fans with literary "easter eggs."

So the options are become a serial killer or a writer? LOL


And yes i believe in telekinesis....... I love 'carrie'

I've always thought he might be. The way certain characters "think", their personalities....really hit "home" for me.

He is a very "detail" orientated writer...I've never had any problems forming mental pictures in my mind of the situation being portrayed while reading one of his books.

I've seen a couple of his movies, his books are a little too wierd for me. I do have one thing in common with him though. He and I were born on the same day..............9/21/47

Strangely, I've been recently compared
to him looks-wise. Not the first time in my
life, either.

The Dark Half, really spoke to me.
Ended up taking on the persona of
the villain for a while. Powerful
characters do that to me.

he looks like an aspergers syndromer:



i bet he beats them off with a stick too, or something
