Famous Aspergians

Do you occasionally look up lists of famous Aspergians? I think it's fun reading the speculations of who might've had Asperger's long before it was discovered.

I've seen:

Marie Curie
Thomas Jefferson
Albert Einstein
David Byrne
Henry Ford
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Alexander the Great
 
Alexander the Great? I haven't heard that one before!

Gary Newman
Steven Spielberg
Nikola Tesla
Henry Cavendish
Phillipa Brown (Ladyhawke) - diagnosed

Can't think of any others right now

Most of these are just speculated (but Nikola Tesla had it for sure).

Isaac Newton
Marilyn Monroe
Henry Ford
A.G. Bell
Kafka
Ludwig van Beethoven
Mark Twain
Thomas Edison
Michelangelo
Vincent van Gogh


Damn, that's all I can remember. I didn't want to actually 'google' it.
 
They think Alexander the Great had Aspergers partially due to reports of him having seizures.
