I don't think threads of this kind are forbidden on this forum. I have a lot to learn from them and above all, they feed my curiousity.
If you don't like them, then go post somewhere else.

I don't think this thread is more pointless than a "Hey! Guess what? It's official: i have ass-burgers!" thread. And it's full of them.


Oh dear, I've crossed the line again, haven't I?

Attention, your attention please ! !! Marilyn Monroe was an ASpie ! ! Marilyn Monroe WAS an ASpie ! !
Thank you, that is all.

I mainly posted this because i am very interested in these type of things, of course i can never be 100% sure however im the type that likes to have a belief in something.

And it is a real possibility that she may of had aspergers, noone can say she didnt without proof of course.

Her mother was a diagnosed schizophrenic, was in and out of institutions all her life.
Marilyn had a lifelong fear of becoming 'insane' as she saw her mother, not an uncommon viewpoint in the 1940's and 1950's.
Marilyn did, however, have strong manic/depressive symptoms, and many people feel, myself included, that her alcoholism and pharmaceutical addiction started with her self-medicating for the anxiety over whether she would become as severe as her mother.
Many people feel this is why she never had a child; that she believed she carried 'hereditary insanity' and did not want to pass it on.
She was, in many ways, a tragic person......
