Fictional Aspies

Post Reply New Topic

Ender wasnt Peter maybe but not Ender.

To me, Dewey would pass as mild HFA. There's another thread th the Televisin and Entertainment forum where someone claimed that the kid that plays Dewey is AS in real life.

Yay! And hopefully he likes the band Six Feet Under or this one hilarious video of theirs. He he he. It has got people stealing a puppets legs.

Glad to know someone else felt like that, I just wanted Raoul to go away or die or something. Everyone would have probably been OK if he hadn't interferred and he was sooooo patronising to Christine. Raoul = fiction's most irritating "hero".

Oh well. At least there are fictional Aspies.

If anyone has ever read David Zindell's A Requiem for Homo Sapiens trilogy, Hanuman is a little Autistic. He loves computers, dolls (artificial life modelled by programming a computer with rules for how the simulated universe is run, and then letting it evolve according to its rules), strictly logical, and a genius to boot. He prefers to communicate by non-verbal language.
Also, in the book Hover Car Racer, by Matthew Reilly. There is a character called Mouse who is a mathematical savant, rarely speaks, and is specifically referred to as being suspected of having autism.

I absolutely must see Amelie. As for my input:

I think Ramona. My mom disagrees.

I REALLY think Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. ((My favorite character from that show/the one I most relate to. Additionally: Now you all know I'm a nerd.))

I think they both have trouble socializing; however, I do think that they're both better as example to give someone immersed in popular culture who wants an idea of what AS is a little like than to give an example of someone who actually has AS. Also, I can talk in front of people with no problem, or at least, do "public speaking." Not that I'm great at it but it doesn't worry me. I can also concentrate on schoolwork just fine; perhaps too much. Of course, I am a social moron and I stammer if not stutter...



Anya is about the most Aspie fictional character on popular TV I have ever seen. I loved that one self description she gave, which I do not remember verbatim but it was something like everybody didn't like her because she was "strangely literal." That would be a good thing to have on my tombstone.



l...o...l.



Hahaha, he DOES go on dates, or did. He has a feline handicap.

Calvin and Hobbes: One of two Aspie Popular Comic Essentials, right after The Far Side (which is simply APPEALING to those on the spectrum, rather than illustrative.) I think Calvin and Hobbes could both be seen as having AS, despite their definite differences. I think a better question would be if there was anyone on here who didn't relate to one of them.



Oh, I'm most like Linus in that wonderful little world. He's the walking encyclopedia with a security blanket. But I would see it most in Schroeder, as well. ((Given a certain upcoming movie release, wouldn't it be funny if he always played Mozart instead of always playing Beethoven?))


I don't think so; he's just supposed to seem like he's 14 years old, perpetually. The AS-like traits are side-effects of this.



I walked out of the HHGTTG movie with a friend who knows how fantastically pessimistic I am, and he asked me who I related to most in that movie. Then, realized it was a dumb question. Aliens often seem Aspie when they clash with humans in fiction, though.



Though I disagree (he's more posttraumatic, IMO), I must say, uber "cool points" for mentioning that. I have yet to read a Stephen King book or story and immediately think one of the characters is an Aspie.

Discworld: Tiffany, Carrot, and many more if you relax the criteria.

Ramona? Ramona as in Beverly Cleary's Ramona? If so, major points to you, I'm a huge fan of Ramona. Why do you think she's aspie, though?

Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. And I think Rons right. You cant feel all that at once. Youd explode.

Yeah, I agree on Luna Lovegood. Although she can't conclusively be said to have AS until JK Rowling says so, there's really very little say she doesn't. Unconventional thought patterns, obsession with her father's ideas and conspiracy theories, bluntly stating the truth, unusual style of dress, generally not caring what people say or think about her... all those signs and more point to it.

Oh, and Bill the Cat, definitely.

Kaywinnet Lee (Kaylee) Frye (Firefly)

Completely unqualified engineer, yet knows virtually everything about ships engines.

hmmm... perhaps also Simon Tam from the same show.

Gilbert (Gil) Grissom (CSI)

Fair enough, he shows empathy, but still it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as much as most people. Plus extensive bug knowledge, and he walks away from situations where emotional reactions might be the norm.

((((hugs))))

Feel What?

Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory seems autistic. He is extremely brilliant, and his dialogue is sesquipedalian, but he has severe trust issues and lacks common sense and social skills.

Characters from Ayn Rand's books.
Especially Howard Roark, the main character in The Fountainhead.
I wonder if Rand herself may have been too.

Pigeonman from Hey Arnold
Sai from Naruto
Samurai Jack - the guy is basically in another world and rarely speaks
