Fictional characters with AS

Post Reply New Topic

I think Peter Parker has signs of AS...

Charlie Brown.

Roderick Usher---from Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"---Roderick seems to have become lost in an imaginary world. And he hates loud noises. I don't know how seriously you should consider this, but just thought I would offer it for fun analyis.

Paul in Conrad Aiken's short story "Silent Snow, Secret Snow". This was also a segment on Rod Serling's Night Gallery. Many early critics try to say that Paul was schizophrenic, but the medical profession also misdiagnosed many autistics as having schizophrenia years ago. So perhaps Paul needs careful analysis. Today, there are critics that consider his condition as autistic. Maybe you should decide what Paul has.

I was exactly wrote "the Usher family"!

Other sugestion: Captain Queeg, from The Caine Mutiny

QFT

Data, in "Next Generation":

-- always trying to be human
-- always trying to understand humor & not getting jokes, etc.
-- looked obviously different from the rest
-- had special talents and interests
-- had an evil, sociopathic brother who always bullied him
-- got laid only once (that german-looking chick with the short hair)

Ramona Quimby from the Beverly Cleary series
Fudge from the Judy Bloom "Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing" series
Tommy's dad from Rugrats
Maiah from the Doctor Dolittle remake
Marvin from Daddy Daycare
Cale from Titan A.E.
Dib and his dad and sister from Invader Zim
Wednesday from the Adams Family
Zim from Invader Zim
Buster, D.W. and Brain from Arthur
Greg from CSI (I just can't see how Grissom can)
House from House M.D.

You wish.

I always thought Linus from the Peanuts comics had AS, I know I certainly identified with him as a child.

Sam from Benny & Joon
Joon (aspie traits due to her schizophrenia)
Susan from one of The Baby Sitters Club books, Kristy and the Secret of Susan except she was autistic
Simon from Mercury Rising except he was also autistic
Adam from the episode of House "Lines in the Sand" except he was also autistic.
Jerry from Boston Legal
And that one guy from Law & order in "Probability" but I forgot what his name.

To add to the Harry Potter list...
I always thought it was possible that Ollivander was somewhere on the spectrum...

Jake Gyllenhaal's character in Zodiac.

Also inccorect fior simular reasons

Data wasnt human.
Because he didnt have the wiring until he had that chip installed.
ecause he wasnt designed with realistic coloring
so did aliens of difernt phisologies. He simple is bult in huam image not human specifications
Elier design, like so many in history of inventios, flawed before the final product came out. evil twin not asperger requirement
again..he is inahrently nonsexual beiong a machine..also we dont know that for sure. We know one time he got laid, that is it

I'm thinking Vincent Di'nofrio's character. Can't remember his name. Is the show Law and Order CI?

All the eccentric, systematic detectives:

Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie novels)
Colombo (Old detective show)
Monk (Monk)

Half the guys in "Revenge of the Nerds".

The "smart one" from "Dumb and Dumber".

I think so. It's when homeless people keep being murdered and the guy loves the number 5 and has this pattern. Two things on the side and something in the middle. He does it with pictures, plates, etc.
