Eminem, Kanye West, Chief Keef, Earl Sweatshirt. Any others you can think of?

You provide no evidence to even support suspicion they are Aspies so why should I accept your definitive statement these people are Aspies?

Eminem and Kanye West OBVIOUSLY have it. Eminem said he has it in the song Wicked Ways. And if you look at Kanye's interviews, he definitely has it

Eminem also said he had it in Heat and talks about being socially awkward, but I don't think Kanye has it. What makes people think Kanye has it?

You should not “diagnose” people based on interviews. Not everybody that is blunt, bright, and looks at the world differently is on the spectrum. Entertainers put on public personas for branding purposes.

Eminem has mentioned it in a couple of songs. Are these lyrics autobiographical, a composite of people he knows, or a fictional character?

Yeah Im not diagnosing Eminem. I just suspect it because when he does talk about himself and his childhood, he frequently mentions being awkward and being bullied, and he has said in interviews that he thinks he has OCD. Being socially awkward and and having obsessive behaviors sounds like being on the spectrum. I'm not diagnosing. I'm just guessing. These lyrics seem to be him talking about himself and not using his character Slim Shady, so I'm not a professional but if I had to pick a rapper who I suspected was autistic, it'd be Eminem.

What I don't get though is was he joking when he said "I got Asperger's" in Heat? Cause up until then, he didn't say he had it directly, he just suggested it.

I would appreciate if you could give me a link to where in an interview he says he is autistic or he says those lyrics are autobiographical.
