I don't know. Just the way he was acting between the time lapsing of him seducing Katie Holmes and Mission Impossible 3 being released he did things that were so Aspie-like.

I don't know much about David Byrne, but in this video he acts like he has Asperger's. And I really love the way this interview is, I see myself answering all these questions that are supposed to be "goofy" in such a straight forward matter of fact way.

I remember it. It seemed to me that he was going insane, but now that I think about it it does seem like he could be an Aspie .

How about Robert Downey Jr, Juliette Lewis and Joaquin Phoenix ? Totally seem like Aspies to me .

Roger Bannister has a lot of AS traits, but is very successful.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, you know.

Criumh_shioannachain, I agree. I think it is Roger Bannister's collection of traits that helped him become successful at all he did.
