Einstein. I don't care if he was technically not diagnosed; he was definitely an Aspie.

Never heard of that chick. O.o;;

I'm surprised you spelled Ted correctly for your username.

You never know about Einstein. He did have 10 mistresses after all. Ayn Rand is an author.

Thomas Jefferson has been suggested.

Probably alot more currently famous people than have admitted it. I suspect that people are only willing to publicly announce a diagnosis when they need it to excuse something (Craig Nichols is my only real example, though).

A lot of you won't like to hear this but I have heard that Tom Cruise may be an aspie.

If someone told that to me It'd be a struggle not to attack them. Not because that's how much I dislike Tom Cruise, but because that's a really stupid thing to say.

That's... maybe even creepier than Ayn Rand!

I like these better:

What's stupid about it? I didn't bash him. I just said some people wouldn't like to have him associated with them. Tom Cruise actually does have some AS tendencies, I'm not making that up.

Alright, you can think what you want about him. I'm just trying to maintain that gap between "stupid, self absorbed, oddball celebrity" and "aspie material."

The late Glenn Gould may have been an Aspie.
He had many of the behaviors, and mannerisms that
are usually associated with Autism, ie: isolation, fixed routines,
eccentric habits, tactile and sensory issues.
