Can you guess who this is? Apologies in advance if I have got something wrong.
This list is not chronological.
I can think of TWO people. Add to the list if you can.
==================================
Followed and admired by many.
Hated by others.
Appears Narcissistic to some.
Suspected Asperger’s.
Displays both extroverted and introverted side.
Initially got in trouble with the law.
Subsequently Worked within the law (more or less) to achieve goals.
Planned or wrote a book or book deal while imprisoned or shortly after.
Scandal involving relations with women.
Planned an attack on the established order.
Achieved success and became famous, at least in the short term.

Again, there is nothing to suggest he has AS. Just because someone is eccentric or unusual or against the grain does not mean they have AS.

And Assange, Hitler and Trotsky have all been on the cover of Time Magazine. Hitler was Time man of the year in 1938. Assange was leading the poll on Time by a long way but they went with Zuckerberg.
