"Outing" Larry David as an Aspie....

Post Reply New Topic

I just watched several episodes of "curb your enthusiasm"....and he is so.....ASPIE.My boyfriend who us Jewish claims most the Jewish people he knows have this kind of "neurotic" behavior,but he is an aspie in denial himself,so....what do you guys think.....Larry David....Just Jewish neurotic or Aspie?

Well if Jews are like Aspies.

Then Aspies are like Jews.

Jews are God's Chosen People.

Therefore Aspies are God's Chosen People.

Q.E.D.

Well,that would explain why we are constantly being punished by other people....jealousy..

I thought Jewish people were very social--quite the opposite of most Aspies.



He could just be playing a character that happens to have Aspie characteristics. The actor who played stapler guy in "Office Space" isn't like the character in real life. Wait, did I just make the stapler guy into an Aspie?

Well,in "curb your enthusiasm" he is playing himself(though the wife on there is not his real wife,dont know if he has one)It is a very funny show....for any who dont know,he is the writer of Seinfield and used to write for Saturday Night Live(I try and not hold that against him)

Agreed, it's a great show.

He does have a wife (& children).

He isn't actually playing 'himself' in Curb, more his 'ideal' self; his 'super-ego'.
He says ( and does) things that he wishes he could do in real life, but which societie's codes, conventions and niceties prevent him from doing.
(He mentions this in an interview with Ricky Gervais.)

It appears that he has no awareness of some social codes ( symptomatic of AS.)
However, my opinion is that Larry is only too aware of these social codes, and his superiority and feigned ignorance of them is used for comic effect.
I don't think he needs 'outing', he's an 'odd-ball' & freethinker; certainly a great inspiration, but AS - i don't think so.

I have heard they are shooting Series 6, to be aired sometime next year.

I dont think he has AS he is just a Jerk and a very funny one at that

he seems aspie to me... i have all of curb your enthusiasm on dvd
