People claim he was. The actor was more unsure. There is no settled proof. I think it's more of a throw up in the air thing.

In the TV show "The Waltons", episode "The Genius" there is a boy that may have been unknowingly modeled on autistic behaviour. For example, he carelessly states that religion is primitive to a house full of devout christians, and then is unable to tell why it is that they take offense.

The creators of the show said he doesn't have Asperger's.
