Fictional Characters With Undiagnosed Aspergers or Autism

Inspector Morse

Well to be honest I've never watched Endeavour and I only watched one of Morse. I know John Thaw though so that's maybe why I could never imagine him as being on the spectrum.

John Thaw is an actor. Maybe he is acting some autistic traits? Though it does seem unlikely they decided Morse was an Aspie and deliberately played it that way...especially since the series began in 1987, before the DSM added Asperger's. But they could've accidentally stumbled into the characteristics...in which case: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Chance from the 1979 film “Being There”

Takumi Fujiwara

Mr. Casaubon from the book "Middlemarch":
This accomplished man condescended to think of a young girl, and take the
pains to talk to her, not with absurd compliment, but with an appeal to
her understanding, and sometimes with instructive correction. What
delightful companionship! Mr. Casaubon seemed even unconscious that
trivialities existed, and never handed round that small-talk of heavy
men which is as acceptable as stale bride-cake brought forth with an
odor of cupboard. He talked of what he was interested in, or else he
was silent and bowed with sad civility. To Dorothea this was adorable
genuineness, and religious abstinence from that artificiality which
uses up the soul in the efforts of pretence.

Sometimes I get the impression that Victorians in general had more ASD than we see these days, or at least were more aware of its merits. I keep finding what look like descriptions of ASD traits in their literature, which the authors often view favourably.

Robinson Crusoe

I read a lot of the comments so far and none of these are mentioned:

1) Lilith Sternin Crane from "Cheers"
2) Wilson from "Home Improvement"
3) The nerdy balding Trekkie on "Frasier" who has a crush on Roz (not Dog, but that other guy)
4) Latka Gravas from "Taxi" (the '70s sitcom)
5) Vera from "Alice"
6) Steve Urkel from "Family Matters"

Matthew Cuthbert and Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. Anne doesn't understand social norms and doesn't know how to get people to like her in order to be adopted. She doesn't know when to stop talking and when others are interested in what she has to say. She doesn't have many friends despite wanting them. She doesn't know when it is appropriate to declare certain levels of friendship, as shown when she decided someone she'd met twice was her bosom friend. She cares about others but is still often very insistent on how things must be. Matthew has a desire for human connection as shown by his connection with Anne but is very lonely. They also have an instant connection with each other. Matthew doesn't have many friends and is a very kind person but is not very expressive of his emotions. Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls. He is very bad at socializing and extremely nervous in social situations, and he scripts. He is easily overwhelmed. He's obsessed with the supernatural and often rambles about it and can hyperfocus. He paces and chews on his shirt when stressed. Viktor Hargreeves from Umbrella Academy. He doesn't have friends, often speaks in a somewhat monotone voice in emotional situations and doesn't use gesturing or body language, struggles to communicate, and cannot tell when he is being lied to or when others are trustworthy when it is obvious to everyone around him. He also has an instant connection with a nonspeaking autistic kid, who comes to trust Viktor (who he has known for around a month) more than his own parents. He instantly understands the boy and doesn't think he is stupid, like everyone else around him. He is also obsessed with the violin from a young age and autistic people often have a good musical ability. As a kid, he hated oatmeal enough to throw people out windows rather than eat them, despite being very mild-mannered. I think his inability to control his power likely stems from increased sensitivity to sound, because no other character in the show with powers has any difficulty controlling it. Also season 3 spoilers:

Corporal Avinoam Shapira - Valley of Tears
Valley of Tears follows various Israeli Defense Force soldiers fighting the 1973 Yom Kipper War.

In Episode one Shapira working in the intelligence unit figures out the Syrians are going to attack. His pleas are ignored by higher ups who are annoyed by his badgering.

In Episode four Shapira and another soldier end up by themselves. Shapira demonstrates savant number memorialization skills and talks about being bullied and having no friends.

That type of person would not be labeled autistic in 1973 so the show is correct in not mentioning Autism.

The movie version of Mantis, from Guardians of the Galaxy. Her superpower is empathy, but she just does not seem to get people at all.

Gomer Pyle
