Melvin? from Officespace: I'm not sure if his name is Melvin though i think it is. Melvin talks in a unique speaking manner as someone with aspergers. He is very clingy to certain innanimate objects, such as his stapler that Lumberg takes from him.

His name is Milton actually.

Also I recently saw Punch Drunk Love for the first time this past week with my best friend. I wondered if he could be considered aspie as well. Although I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere and if it has I apologize.

Damn right!

Look at the tagline. That was how I got in high school. I didn't really care if people messed with me, but if they messed with people (or things) I cared about I'd be scraping chunks of them off my boots.

Random thought: Sandler had a stand up act in the late 80's where he'd demonstrate Axl Rose turning into Edith Bunker. "WAAAAAAAAAAchieee!"

I think the guy in Punch Drunk Love was supposed to be Aspie, as well as several other things, maybe borderline or ??? not sure what else. But I definitely remember AS was one of the list of things.

I want to know what people think of these characters possibly having AS:

Maybe (maybe) Jimmy Fallon in Fever Pitch: poor relationship skills, mathematics fascination, obsession with Red Sox, weird friends only because they share obsession.

If he is, a lot of people that are crazy about baseball/football/the Red Sox etc. are Aspies too. His social skills weren't that poor in most situations. He was awkward with girls but so are at least some NT guys. And lots of NT guys are sports-obsessed

Besides he was based on the same character in the British movie "Fever Pitch" which was about rugby or soccer, I think (hopefully a British person who knows the correct term will correct me). and was adapted for US audiences to the baseball movie about the Red Sox. Anyway this character (I think he was called Paul) was a popular teacher, played by Colin Firth. Popular teachers are not Aspies. In contrast, his girlfriend was a slightly unpopular teacher, though not Aspie, and she actually envied him for that. He was just as obsessed as the Red Sox fan in the American version.

If sports obsession means someone is an Aspie we have a lot more Aspie males then we even thought we did, that's for sure.

I want to say Mayuri Kurotsuchi from Bleach, but he's probably just insane.

When I think about it, a lot of Adam Sandler characters are possible aspies:

Now that I think about it, you're probably right.

I think Chuckie's AS too.

Wouldn't suprise me if Bud Bundy was an aspie either. He is highly intelligent, but has few (if any) friends. He is never in a long-term relationship, but sometimes gets a couple of one night stands (by lying to naive girls, of course).

Edit: Both Mr. Bean and his girlfriend have lots of aspie traits.

Mr. Bean has a girlfriend? :roll:

Goodness, I will have to research this!

Dill from the Rugrats series where they are older. He just screams aspie to me.

Cale from Titan A.E. (Barely intrested in people (at first) interacts better with aliens than he does with people, and VERY intrested in machinery and fixing things.

Ramona Quimby from the Beverly Cleary series (okay she's not a cartoon character but she's a fictional character). She sorta reminds me of myself when I was younger.

That's all I can think of for now.
