Big List of alleged aspies

Post Reply New Topic

I allegedly have Asperger's. Seriously, I'm not all that sure, pointing out my hatred of celebrities.

I started a thread on another aspie site with the question "what famous people in history do you think were aspies' a couple years ago. It started a long interesting thread. Some of the same figures were suggested (like dylan).

Someone suggested George Washington was an aspie.
The poster said Washington was compulsively honest and blunt ( kinda like Dr. House in a powdered whig).
Maybe Washington litereally 'couldnt tell a lie'. An interesting image of Washington. But I seriously doubt he couldve been successful as politician being that impolitic!

Just gonna say Billy Corgan and Tim Burton are most likely aspie.

Previously, I´d never guess that Keanu Reeves could possibly have Aspergers, but as you said it, it makes one think about it. He acts a lot like an Aspie, but it does not necessarily mean he is one of us. But it is likely, I admit.

However, I don´t see it possibly with e.g. Sly Stallone. Sorry. That guy is as NT and as sociable as possible.

Someone mentioned aspie athletes. I don't think Steve Prefontaine was a classic aspie, but may have had his toe dipped in the shallow end of the spectrum. He was social, but quirky. Single-minded, intense, argumentative, philosophical, justice-minded (to his own detriment). But, seemingly far greater a social facility than one would associate with aspies.

I do think that one of his opponants, Gerry Lindgren- someone you've probably never heard of - is on the spectrum. Both were track and cross-country running prodigies. Lindgren had far more rigid, fixated, extreme behavior regarding running. He had life-long difficulty dealing with the demands of the world and the people in it.
Prefontaine was a provocative and elusive character, Lindgren was perceived as thoroughly baffling. As aspies: Prefontaine, not likely; Lindgren, almost definitely.

Wes Anderson??
