Einstein was pretty cool if you read his life story, he nearly got kicked out of school for arguing with teachers and stood up for what he believed during and after WW2.

They say Anthony Hopkins is an aspie (based on things he said in an interview; see this thread), and it does make a lot of sense to me, but it's not official. The Einstein thing is not official either; they say he was not only autistic, but dyslexic, synesthesic, etc.

In Wikipedia, I found the following lists that may be of interest:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_autistic_people
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_speculated_to_have_been_autistic

Supposedly Gary Numan, the musician who did the song "Cars" back in the 1979 era of early new wave rock. I have also heard that Fiona Apple is an aspie chick.

Im reading "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes and that leaves you wondering if half of the people behind both the project and the discoveries before are on the spectrum.

I found the following http://www.aspergers.org.uk/index.php/news/item/some_more_famous_aspies/ although maybe we should keep the thing about the creator of pokemon quiet.
