G'day all,

I have seen the excellent Famous Aspies in Music chatroom; but what about all the other famous Aspies in History?
Wikipedia states the following people:

"Nobel Prize-winning economist Vernon Smith,
electropop rocker Gary Numan,
Vines frontman Craig Nicholls,
Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokémon...

Some AS researchers speculate that well-known figures, including
Albert Einstein
Isaac Newton
Glenn Gould
Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Kubrick..."

What do you think?

I seriously reckon that Lord Kitchener (the soldier, not the musician) was definately AS?

Let's be proud of our famous ilk.
I would like to add Jorge Luis Borges.  If he wasn't on the spectrum, it's our loss.  The guy was a walking library, and a nerd's nerd.
