Simpsons Comic Book Guy An Aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a big Simpsons fan and I was thinking the other day; is Comic Book Guy as Aspie. He defintely show stereotyped intrests (sci-fi), socially different, and is shown to be smart (Mensa member). Anyone else want to weigh in?

I think he's an Aspie.

Not every nerd with a high IQ must be autistic you know.

not every nerd is an aspie. but i can see what u means.

Yes, I think he is and FWIW I think Lisa Simpson is too. It was written into one episode that Bart has ADHD, so I'd like it if the writers wrote an AS episode for someone.

I'd much rather speculate about fictional figures than historical ones. What's the point of Dx'ing the dead?

Yes, I do know that, and I defintely am not the authority on DXing, but I was just saying it is a good argument. And weird-el, I can DEFINATLY see Lisa being an Aspie. Maybe, though, it is just how she seems in comparison to the more crazy citizens like Wiggum and Homer.
