I don't, they're not really 'types' anyway.

Numan/Einstein/Spielburg - though I'm really good at spelling etc so Spielburg might be off.

Was like this in grade school especially.

Einstein had a laptop? This I didn't know.

3. Powell - Aggressive, intelligent, hostile, stress.

I share all those characteristics. Tis true.

Quote:

4. Numan - Daydreamer - spaces out.

Spacing out is, nowadays, my chief concern. I always have the spacy million miles away look to my face.

Quote:

5. Morrissey - Separated, 'Alien'.

I am the most seperated alien of them all.

Quote:

6. Nicholls - Hyperactive, can't keep friends - possible ADD.

Was like this in grade school, originally diagnosed ADHD that turned into ODD like behaviour that didn't earn me a lot of admiration and praise.

Quote:

7. Carroll - Passive introverted, calm outside.

Too much like this. I think about ways to be more assertive constantly and rehearse scenarios in my mind but lose my nerve IRL.

Quote:

8. Warhol - Confident, excessive monologues.

I did go through a Monologue Phase but it was so bothersome and absolutely annoying it was driving me crazy so I practiced controlling it with CBT. I experienced success. Confidence eludes me.

I have ALL because I am this multifaceted talented, versatile genius at life.

My favorite is number 4, Gary Numan and I think I embody that persona.

None of them are diagnosed ....and non of you have a proof that any of them has AS.

Stop capitalizing on other people's names , especially on dead famous people like Einstein.

I'd been daydreaming about a hypothetical documentary attempting to classify AS "types" despite me believing it's not really an easy thing to do. But it's just an interesting concept given the frustration I experience when my NT friends who know next to nothing about my condition try to judge me based on "the pervert/weirdo/geek/psycho" they "knew in school who had Asperger's Syndrome". Very, very difficult to explain to them the nature of a "spectrum" when they've already made their minds up based on what they "know" because they express their opinion and then switch their attention span off when it's my turn to speak.

aspergersjohn, can I ask, did you make these up yourself, or did you find them somewhere? If so would you be able to provide a source? Would love to read more into them.

I'd have to say I'm a combination of 3, 4 and 8.
