On the Canadian tv show called The Trailer Park Boys they had a character named Bubbles who I think had Aspergers. The story was about these guys who were small time criminals and one of them was named Bubbles he was sort of the voice of reason in the pack of criminals. he never made eye contact and was somewhat shy, What do you think? Check it out on you tube.

i always thought bubbles was the least likely character to have aspergers

after all, he's the smartest guy in the park

every other character, on the other hand, most definitely has aspergers

Without question. The character definitely seems to be modeled after a character the actor actually knew. Obviously in the name of not offending someone the character downplays any direct reference to such a thing.

Bubbles being the smartest guy in the park makes me think he does have aspergers.
That kitty obsession also backs that up. He is also prone to the occasional meltdown.
