| I know a few autistic people from my school days. I also suspect one of my coworkers may be an aspie. |

1 diagnosed with Asperger's
I've seen many people with said conditions, but I don't know them. |

| I know no autistics in real life except maybe one person in my family who could possibly have been aspie but was never diagnosed with it and died a few years ago. |

um...two different guys diagnosed with Aspergers. Neither of them fall into any stereotype, but they have both told me they were diagnosed Aspies...one of them...a cross dressing comic book artist...his obsessions are very plainly obvious, and he does have a funny way of speech....the other a very social and gregarious guy with lots of children and ex-wives...
One distant cousin (I THINK he is the adult son of my third cousin who I would see at her Christmas party)...possibly Kanners or something...Spoke only in gibberish/repeated phrases...it was kind of disturbing the way the men would get him drunk.
A couple suspected by me,but not diagnosed on both sides of family...
My friend from Houston who I met on WP..
There is a girl I have met a couple of times who I sorta suspect. She has told me she has ADHD, but there is something about her odd speech and habit of mimicry that make me think maybe she is more on the ASish side.

In real life, 3 who has gotten diagnosis. There are a couple others that seem to be on the fringe, but either doesn't affect them to an extent warranting further look or they just don't care.

In the flesh topic
I met a teen once who stated she is Aspie, and worked with a couple of young kids who were in a group home years ago.
