Fictional Characters With Undiagnosed Aspergers or Autism

Post Reply New Topic

I don't see the Aspergian in Goldfinger. I see someone who is criminally insane.

I disagree. I see some autistic traits in Goldfinger.

What do you Of venellape Von sweets from wreck it Ralph ? Also lilo from lilo and stitch?

Dr. Maura Isles from Rizzoli & Isles may have a mild case based on what I've seen:

"Maura is a walking library, able to spout out facts, regardless of whether or not they are relevant to a case. She has a pet tortoise named Bass, after renowned forensic anthropologist William M. Bass. Maura is not easily ruffled and has a steady temperament. She absolutely loves examining dead bodies, but she has a tendency to diagnose living people a little too often. She is the adopted, only child of a wealthy family. In high school, she was nicknamed 'Maura-The-Bore-A' because her classmates thought she was boring. She is always dressed impeccably, as if she were going to a photo shoot. She is known around the force as 'Queen of the Dead'; her ring tone on Jane's phone appropriately plays Chopin's 'Funeral March'. Maura is the complete opposite of Jane, though they are best friends; Rizzoli is more of a tomboy, while Maura always looks like she is going to a fashion shoot rather than to the morgue or a crime scene. Though Maura is socially awkward and has trouble with men due to her brutal honesty and habit of revealing all their medical conditions, she is not awkward around Jane. She can analyze x-rays and blood chemistries, can slice open muscles and organs, but possesses no scalpel with which to dissect human emotions. Maura also can not lie; if she does, she breaks out in hives."

Punky Brewster

The villian Goldfinger is obssesed so much with anything about gold that his song say "he loves gold, only gold." And he is like a connosieur in gold. He also does not express empathy to well. So Goldfinger could likely be an undiagnosed aspie.
As for other possible Aspies, there are two asperger look alikes in pokemon. One of them is Max, though he can get into arguments and criticism, he is a "little professor" in anything that has to do with Pokemon. However, he communicates his thoughts and understands social cues really well unlike many Aspies. So Max is just a genius.
But another WP post said that Ash Ketchum, the star of the show, could actually be an undiagnosed Aspie. The reason is that he is very into himself, obsessed about Pokemon and about being the best Pokemon trainer. Ash also gets into a lot of arguments with his traveling companions, suggesting that he does not communicate his feelings well like many Aspies. Do you think that Ash is an undiagnosed Aspie? If so, Why?

I think of Punky Brewster as being a "quirky" person--but I don't sense that she is within the Spectrum.

I still say r2 ... he left the group on a singleminded mission which he didn't share with the others. He had his own language and way of expression. He often failed to communicate his actions to the others.

Ok, this one is a bit out there, and may get me hated some, but hear me out. Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. (No, I am not a brony, but I have watched the show.) She is sensitive and socially awkward, she prefers the company of animals to people, she is the one who is most often doing solitary activities, she has a very clearly defined sense of right and wrong and she goes apesh*t when someone violates her 'rules,' she is clumsy (can barely fly even though she is a Pegasus), she has meltdowns, and she often sees things differently than the rest of the group (which usually ends up being helpful).
In one episode, two ponies are playing pranks on everyone, but they spare Fluttershy because they know she would not take it as a joke and would be hurt by it. This is me to a T; I don't participate in practical jokes because I don't like them and because I don't lie well.
Thoughts?

This is the scene I was talking about. Fluttershy is the yellow one. Skip to 2:45.

Napoleon Dynamite- his quirky, aloof mannerisms reminded me of myself as a kid.

The Imitation Game movie, with Benedict Cumberbacht starring. Based on Alan Turing's biography.
