If you think she has Aspergers, explain why?



I don't think she does. I don't see anything aspie about her. Sure she is honest and she is an outcast but that is because she is very smart and the other kids are jealous of her. Even NTs can make straight A's.

I voted no for the same reason.

Why are there always people wondering about whether or not fictional characters have AS? Unless these characters were written deliberately to have AS, they are NOT aspies. Geez.

Lisa has been known to have it. It's been in the news about Aspergers and the websites.

I don't think she has AS because she seems to know what she's talking about!

This is even more ridiculous than the Napoleon Dynamite ones...

Just because someone is a weird social outcast, it doesn't mean they have AS.

Like the Forrest Gump topic she's only a fictional character. :)

My mom thinks she does. She even says that Lisa reminds her of me.

Lisa's not an Aspie. She's just a nerd.

She certainly seems like she could have it, she fits most of the criteria. I always related to Lisa, apart from the brainiac part. But shes a fictional character and I really doubt Matt Groening specifically wrote her to have AS. Unless he based her on some real life person with AS.

The Simpsons are based on the Groenings. So the way to find out is to see if one of his sisters are AS.
