I think Norman from
Drabble has AS.
He's portrayed as the dumbest of the lot, but I expect an NT draws it.
The other characterizations, such as complete social ineptitude and literalism seem to fit perfectly.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Dilbert yet.
Tell me he isn't AS.
Rabbit, in Winnie the Pooh, and Owl, are obvious candidates.
From what I recall of
King of the Hill (wow, is it really more than four years since I last watched television?), the guy who talks really fast may have AS.
I think that Ozy, Millie, and/or Llewellen could be AS in
Ozy and Millie. The author may as well.
I think that a fair number of webcartoonists may have AS, based on what and how they write in their posty thingies.
While
Alice seems as if she may be more towards ADHD, Dot seems quite possibly AS. Alice is imaginative, Dot is demonstrated to be as well, just not impulsive, and tends to react to her friend's impulsivity with extreme conservatism.
Susan from
El Goonish Shive seems like a great candidate, her warring logic(restraint) and curiousity are something I can sympathize, particulalrly when it comes to subjects I'm uncomfortable dealing with, such as sex. She needs some way to justify new experiences, has an obessessive interest (in Star Trek), and elitist attitude, and seems somewhat socially incompetant.
In these next three cases I think I'm projecting: looking for a character who has AS where there may not be one, in comics I like.
Sam, in
Sam and Fuzzy is socially inept, parnoid, and clumsy, though that may be a result of living with a psychotic teddy bear. He doesn't seem, exceptional otherwise.
Ship, in
Count Your Sheep adheres rigidly to the rules, adheres rigidly to his own set of rules. There's not much else to him, but I've met a few AS like this.
Gwen/Tennibrook and Baxter of
Catharsis have AS traits.
OF course it could be an Ego-Supergo-Id(with Rremly) arrangement, but Gwen is socially inept, stubborn, creative, and tends to randomly become a child. Baxter is much like Ship, whereas Rremly acts more like ADHD.
Though it's new to me, I only just got through the archive, both the original main characters (Rae and Sartus) in
Those Destined seem to be AS in many ways. Particularly when contrasted with those they meet. Indeed, Rae reminds me so much of an AS female friend of mine that it's practically uncanny. I've decided to keep reading it, in large part, because of that resemblance.
The humor in
Those Destined seems to be Aspie humor, part from the content, part from the positioning (the character bios are mildly funny) so this is another case where I wonder about the author.
The author of
Filibuster Cartoons is clearly brighter than average, obessive, and eccentric. It didn't occur to met that he might have AS until I emailed him. His response showed some traits of someone with AS responding to an email they don't really know how to respond to. (I gave an in-depth description of why I liked his site, and rather than simply saying "thanks," he responded to several of my comments. I can't really say how the response felt like AS to me though, and I won't repost a private email for obvious reasons. His response just felt Aspie though.).
The author of
Dementia of Magic also seems to have AS. His characters show the traits of somebody with AS trying to determine how NTs behave.
I've digressed a bit talking about comic authors, so I'll stop now.
I feel the same way about other things too so don't feel silly. I want to go see it now.
