His autobiographer thinks that Henry Wallace the 33rd Vice President of the United States was an Aspie.

America would be vastly different if FDR hadn’t pushed this man out

Quote:
He didn’t drink, smoke or swear.

He didn’t like telling jokes, reading fiction or playing golf. In fact, he hated any pursuit in which he could discern no scope for self-improvement.

While highly intelligent, Wallace struggled in social situations, as author Benn Steil explains in “The World That Wasn’t: Henry Wallace and the Fate of The American Century” (Avid Reader Press).

Steil believes Wallace actually had Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder first highlighted by Austrian physician Hans Asperger in 1944 — Wallace’s final year as vice president.

Far from enough information for me to form an opinion but interesting none the less.

Larry David pretended to be. But I think he is really.
“ If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism,” and so on.”
Honey, if you’ve seen one then you’ve seen one.

Autism is a very broad spectrum disorder. This is why NTs say that aggravating line, "Aren't we all just a little autistic?"
