I don't think they where already mentioned?

Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Bones)
Maura Isles (Rizzoli & Isles)
Parker (Leverage)

Each of these seems to have at least some aspie qualities? It's just that they have the resources (intelligence, expertise or skill, authority and/or money) to get away with being eccentric, odd, awkward.

{sidenote: I think Steven Jobs was an Aspie too? How awkward he when he was young. How obsessive and detailed he practiced his presentations, how he seemed to have lack most social grace when thing when wrong, how people that worked with him describe hem. It's just,,, life is very different when you have the resources and authority to recreated the world in your own image...)

The more I am watching M*A*S*H the more I think Radar is an aspie. Incredibly sensitive sense of hearing. Social skills are certainly delayed (no luck in the love department either). Enjoys playing with kids, generally immature, and even sleeps with a teddy (many aspies are immature like this). Incredibly good at a job that involves a lot of routines. Strong love for animals (for example he saves a lamb from being dinner). For a show that was created well before anything was even remotely known about Asperger's you couldn't ask for a more aspieish character.

I hadn't thought of Radar, but I think you're right, except for the ToM because he always knows what the colonel is going to say before he says it. Smile

The ToM thing could just be predictability. Both colonels were generally pretty predictable.

Thomas Horn's portrayal of Oskar Schell in the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close film is pretty awe-inspiring, especially given the fact that he portrays the character-and carries the film-with more professionalism than the majority of actors: an impressive feat for a fourteen-year-old whose only previous acting experiences were as the Old Grasshopper in a local school production of James and the Giant Peach and a winning act on the 2010 Jeopardy Kids Week. He's gotten starring roles in two upcoming movies and I'm looking forward to see if his acting is diverse, unlike so many other actors like Dan. Radcliffe and (dare I say it) Chuck Norris.
Extremely Loud ranks amongst Deathly Hallows: Part Two and DiCaprio's Titanic as one of my favourite movies of all-time. It should have won Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year. I honestly don't understand the hatred a lot of people have towards the masterpiece. One of the most beautiful portrayals of an Aspie (albeit an inconclusive Aspie) in the world of cinema.

If the novel I'm currently working on ever makes it to the big-screen, I'm going to do all I can to get Horn acting as one of the main characters, if he's still the right age by then.

Josh Hartnett in The Mozart and The Whale .Overall,I didn't think the movie was that good ,it didn't have much of a plot but I thought his portrayal was well done.
