That was a great David Mitchell interview. I think he's awesome! I'd never really picked up on his Aspiness before, but I can totally see it.
I also think James May from Top Gear seems to have AS. They even joked about it in one episode, although he didn't know what it was. Because he's quite geeky and overly methodical, always doing things a certain way.

Bob Dylan I would say definately has it, and possibly David Bowie.

Molly Ringwald once had Asperger's, but she removed it from her brain with her bare hands.

Interesting. Those are people I wouldn't normally pin as Aspergers. Are you just basing this on observation?

Oh and it was great reading about the historical figures who are speculated to have had AS or autism, many are great artistic and scientific geniuses and it sort of gives me hope.

I found that interesting too. When I was younger I couldn't get enough of Emily Dickinson's poetry, and it appears she was an Aspie. Makes sense to me.

I was catching up on old episodes of "Hell's Kitchen" and I am convinced this year's winner Dave has AS. Am I close or no cigar?

P.S>Whether he has AS or not and no matter how well he speaks before groups, I still think he's hot.

Yes she is awesome. I had a strong interest in Van Gogh a few years back, so it was great to see him on the list...

Jamie Hyneman. He's got a very flat affect. Him couples with Adam Savage - ADHD personified.

Time's up for me to edit the above post.

I also think Mike Judge might have AS for the same reasons as I think Jamie Hyneman has it.
