Fictional characters with AS

Post Reply New Topic

Tony Hill from "Wire in the Blood"
Bones from "Bones" (and the lab guy from the same show, whatever his name was)
Grissom from CSI
possibly Cristina Yang from "Grey's Anatomy"

For sure. I've read that book, it is incredible how you can see that guy as AS. Must be one of the most famous books with the main character and the main theme on Asperger's Syndrome.
But it isn't clearly marked that "Christopher has AS" in the book, but he has most of the characteristics of AS.

Nobody has yet mentioned Charles Wallace Murry in Madeline L'Engle's fantasy novels.

He might just be a gifted kid, but I wonder. That bit in A Wind in the Door where he gets up in class and talks about mitochondria sounds pretty Aspie to me.

Interesting that you say this! I have noticed that all the male characters of the Peanuts comics have AS traits: Charlie Brown has social problems and obsesses about life in general (and he goes around and around in circles with his thought patterns- he was the one I related to as a child), Schroeder has an intense narrow interest, Linus is a "little professor" as well as a "little philosopher", and Pigpen is pretty socially out of it too. In contrast, all the female characters seem to be intensely "nerotypical"...(particularly Lucy). This makes me wonder...could Charles M. Schultz be on the spectrum???

I thought of 2 other possible Aspies:
Adrian Brody´s character in the film "Dummy"?
Woody Allen´s character in the film "Play It Again Sam"?
(They both could be Aspies, or just shy men. Hard to say, I would never "diagnose" someone if I don´t know their thinking processes...theory of mind and all...)

Bob from ReGenesis

I can actually see why you would think this and, thinking about it, I agree with you. I think it also works the same way for Bridget Jones's Diary.

ok, how o u know?

Actually, I think he must be "more autistic" than that. If he's AS, he's a big exaggeration of AS.

What's that supposed to mean?

i think this fellow acts like AS. i like his style of humor.

also that doctor martin fellow on the UK tv show.


i forgot. also the B9 robot from lost in space. i know it is a machine but i always identified with it's voice and style.

The Sandman, Tommy and Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh

Pippi Longstocking (btw an old childhood obsession of mine).

I'm going to go with Job from the film, "Lawn Mower Man" I realise this may not be an accurate perspective but, in some ways Job reminded me of myself for, often being looked upon as being slow witted and stupid but, in many ways having a kind heart carries a greater sense of weight than some intelligence test..

! !! ! AHHHH! That makes so much sense now that I think about it! She's "precocious" "quirky" and any other adjective people used to describe her they could have just said...

No. She has AS.

I also really loved Pippi.

>>That scientist from "Honey I Shrunk The Kids".

Edit: No one has agree with/rejected this suggestion of mine.

Inadvertently shrinking your kids with some special project in your attic is a very Asperger thing to do!

Are you talking about the Baron Victor Frankenstein or about the monster?

If you are talking about the monster, I suppose that the "Spock/Data objection" also applyes to these two (and, btw, both have some spech delay...)
