Famous People with Asperser’s Syndrome

I would not suggest keeping Adolf Hitler in this list. He had a more insidious disorder called Malignant Narcissism. This is really just a grandiose sense of self combined with anti-social or criminal behavior. He fed off of the worship and lavish praise of others in order to satisfy his fragile sense of self. Hitler was just like Satan from the Bible. Hitler was a very depressed individual, but he was a very socially engaging, and he had social skills whenever he wanted them. People found Hitler to be very charming and even hypnotizing. Hitler wanted absolute power and control, but his pride got in the way and that was the cause of his ongoing reckless behavior. The reason he even decided to invade Russia was because he convinced himself that Russia was weak.

Hitler never really exhibited Aspergerish traits. Hitler did write a book called Mein Kampf, but people say that he was a mediocre writer. If Hitler was an Aspie, he probably would have wanted to be left alone. He probably would have hated attracting such great attention to himself. He would not have given such dynamic speeches, and he probably would have found other tactful ways in spitting his venom. If Hitler was an Aspie, he probably would have been more subtle in his approach in trying to take over the world. He probably would have had his aides take a larger part in his propaganda campaign, and he also might have tried amassing a bunch of power to himself while going generally unnoticed.

You should not try to confuse Aspies with Narcissists. People with Aspergers can be seen as arrogant, but usually it is the case that they are just oblivious. Aspies have a lot of redeeming qualities about themselves, but Naricissists are really just a bunch of pathetic excuses for human beings.

I think that is almost impossible a famous person who was already famous at 1994 to have a diagnosis of AS (like Spielberg, Gates or, for the matter, Ackroyd) - when AS was created, they did not have relevant problems in occupational or social areas.

Very true.

The creator of Pokemon, Satoshi Tajiri has been confirmed to be diagnosed with Asperger's from many different sources and when he was a kid, we was really big on bugs and bug collecting which inspired him to make Pokemon which not only you could collect bugs, but other different creatures too.

He got into video games as well and then became interested in that as well as bugs and he often skipped school because he was so fascinated in other things so he did not do the best in school either and he worked on Pokemon for six years to make sure everything was exactly right and many were unsure that the games would even sell, of course, they were wrong and the games sold like hot cakes and they, along with Final Fantasy VII were responsible for making RPGs mainstream in the United States.

And then you have me who is OBSESSED with Pokemon ever since six years old and I still love it so it does not surprise me that I can relate to the games and all of the detail, there is a lot of detail. I've said this many times, but it is a game that's easy to play for children, but hard to master with all of the hidden game mechanics and the like.

I've seen a lot of speculation regarding Bill Gates, but I have never seen anything stating he has an official diagnosis, nor have I seen a report of him announcing he has it.

Steven Spielberg doesn't have Asperger's. I really wish people would stop saying that he did. Jesus Christ, learn to use Google.

The singer Ladyhawke has Asperger's. I find her inspiring since she's a lesbian with Asperger's, and so am I.

I love this unintentional freudian slip, which could be appled to many who frequent PPR here at WP.

She also writes all her own songs and plays every instrument on her recordings. Plus she makes kickin' New Wave music. She reminds me of a female (and much more famous) version of me.
