Aspie/Autistic Characters on TV

Post Reply New Topic

JJ in the E4 series 'Skins' definitely has Asperger Syndrome - in fact, the writers say so

don't for get brian from spaced.

Who was the last depiction of Aspgerger's?

The character Max from the series 'Parenthood' is diagnosed with Aspergers.

What about Screech from Saved by the Bell?

Parenthood is a really good show. I got diagnosed with AS a few months before Max did on the show. My Grandma and I watch it together. She doesn't really understand the spectrum and she likes to deny that I have AS because she wants me to be "normal." So in defense of my "normalness", my Grandma said to me "You can't have Asperger's because you don't act like Max." Uh huh.

there was a character tv soap hollyoaks called spencer or something he was supposed to have had it also the Frank Spencer from some mothers do ave em did i'm sure

Huh, I had never thought of Robin from HIMYM as an Aspie. Everything I can think of where she was being awkward was because she didn't understand American customs because she's Canadian. I could be wrong, it's been a while since I've watched it.

Also since no one else has mentioned it yet: Dr. Gregory House. That's generally agreed upon as fact.
And my own submission: Cindy "Mac" McKenzie from Veronica Mars.
Oh and like half the characters from Big Bang Theory. I really like watching Amy and Sheldon interact.

I don't think House is an aspie. He knows exactly what he is doing, and manipulates people way too easily.

How about Spock from Star Trek?

These are all TV-series with a main character I relate with :

Silicon Valley




Mr Robot




House MD





Sherlock





Bones

Brains from the original Thunderbirds series
Supermarionation...classic!

Eugene from The Walking Dead is almost definitely an aspie. He is socially aqwuard and very intelligent. This is a somewhat popular fan theory, and I definitely support it because it makes that character more relatable for me.
