looking ahead to Share 32 +1 1 Pin Stumble Reddit Shares 33 There are many famous people with Asperger syndrome, a neurological condition on the autism spectrum characterized by: impaired communication skills (both verbal and nonverbal), repetitive behaviors, rigidity of interests, and coordination deficits. The diagnoses of famous people with Asperger syndrome have been made public via personal accounts (e.g. autobiographies) or statements. In other cases, the diagnoses may be disclosed to the media by a close family member (or friend) of the famous individual. In rarer cases, the general public may not discover that a celebrity was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome until after the person s death. Due to the fact that Asperger syndrome was first discovered in 1944 and wasn t considered a formal neurological condition until 1981, many famous people that lived prior to the 1940s may have averted the diagnostic label despite exhibiting the symptoms. Furthermore, a small subset of famous individuals with Asperger syndrome may have kept their diagnoses a secret from the general public. If you have Asperger syndrome, it is important to realize that anyone can be affected by the condition regardless of celebrity status, income, or innate talent. Furthermore, famous people with the condition have proved that it is possible to make significant contributions to the world and lead successful lives despite a neurodiagnostic label of Asperger s.
