My favourite AutTV episodes are - "Einstein: The Autism Connection" and "Lewis Carroll: The autism connection".

Shall we start working on "Andy Warhol: The Autism Connection"?
Here is some info to get us started:
Was autism the secret of Warhol's art?

I nominate myself as the narrator for "Andy Warhol: The Autism Connection"
Do you have a way to make it? Or if I make one would you be able to record the sound?
I can make a Powerpoint presentation. Is it a fine format for you?
No, that format won't work.
I'm not sure if you knew there are chapters on Warhol in each of these books:

Fitzgerald, Michael (2005) The genesis of artistic creativity: Asperger’s syndrome and the arts. Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

James, Ioan (2005) Asperger syndrome and high achievement: some very remarkable people. Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

and he's in this one too:

Elder, Jennifer and Thomas, Marc (Illustrator) (2005) Different like me: my book of autism heroes. Jessica Kingsley, 2005.

In my opinion, Warhol was one of the most obviously autistic famous people.

My current favourite Warhol Quote:

"I never fall apart because I never fall together."

This is my favourite photo of Warhol, so appealingly unapproachable:

Whenever I'm browsing in arsty gift shops I spot expensive ladies' diaries decorated with Warhol's sketches of shoes. He really did have a thing about shoes.
