Neil Peart

Many people will link a potential savant as someone with autism. Neil Peart was the drummer for Rush and many believe that he has a high-functioning form of autism because of the clues he provides. He is a social recluse who reads a great deal and is a genius with a musical instrument. Of course, this could mean that he likes his privacy, enjoys reading as a pastime and took the time to learn to play percussion at a master’s level. The autism talk is complete speculation on the part of some fans and is meant as a compliment.

Actors portray characters who either are stated to have autism or the character has attributes that seem to relay that autism is a possibility. David Neilson has been portraying Roy Cropper for several years on the British soap opera “Coronation Street”. The actor himself is not autistic, but the character he portrays has been stated to have autism. Being able to portray someone with a disability though does not mean that the actor himself or herself has the disorder. The answer to the above question is no. This just means that David Neilson is a good actor and has studied his character minutely.

Does Neil Young have a child with disabilities?

Neil Young actually has two disabled sons and they are both afflicted with the same condition. Though it is not autism, it is a very physically debilitating disease. The boys have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The two very different conditions do have some seeming similarities though. The rocking that someone with cerebral palsy does is similar to that of a person with autism. On the part of a cerebral palsy diagnosis it is involuntary and uncontrollable because of the brain disorder. For someone with autism it is a way to remain calm. Some of the confusion may result from other similarities.

Noynoy Aquino

Politicians sometimes have to deflect charges that they have been party to corruption, sexual perversion or other actions that will hinder their election. Noynoy Aquino was accused of being autistic and the opposition did not mean the high functioning kind. He refuted the statements while he was running for president of the Philippines by saying that he could not have been elected to the Senate and the House if he was developmentally disabled.  The fact that he is now president of the Philippines should answer any questions for the opposition. The people believed him and elected him to the office.

Does Gary Numan have Aspergers

Can someone truly be called autistic if they have never been formally diagnosed. Of course, there can be speculation, but a true autistic diagnosis, from a qualified professional, is actually needed. Gary Numan has long suspected that he has Asperger’s. Apparently the rocker took some tests on the internet to see if he qualified and the instruments said that he had mild autism. He says that he always suspected that something was the matter because of frequent outbursts and others say due to his recording genius they suspected. But he has never sought a formal diagnosis of either autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.

Does Oskar Schell have autism

A young boy is witness to an incredible tragedy which involves his father. He is taken on a trip to discover whether what he believes about the man he lost is true. This is the plot of a movie whose main character is a young man named Oskar Schell. He is young and gifted intellectually, but he is challenged by his difficulties in society. He loses his father, who likes to tell him riddles, but gains a grandfather figure. He seems to have autism, but the film never says whether he does or not. Most assume that the character did have autism.

Does the boy in “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” have autism?

The events that took place on 9/11 affected the entire country in many different ways.

Does Payton manning have autism or aspergers?

Just because someone is good at their job, has an ability to be incredibly focused and has some slight resemblance to a high functioning autistic, does not mean that they have autism. Peyton Manning can be considered an individual who makes football his personal plaything because he is very good at the game. He can quickly analyze a defense and make unbelievable throws to his wide receivers. None of this sounds like autism. He is also a very easy going, cooperative and outspoken teammate and personality. He has helped with medical research, but it is highly doubtful that he himself has an autistic diagnosis.

Does Patrick Star from SpongeBob have autism?

The goofy sidekick of SpongeBob Square pants is definitely special. However, to suggest that he is autistic is out of line. It seems that the writers of the show have cast him as someone of below average intelligence (as is the show’s namesake), but just because a person is intellectually delayed does not make him or her autistic. Many people are very high functioning though they have autism. As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that those with Asperger’s (a mild form of autism) often have a genius level IQ.  Cartoons are just that and suggest nothing other than fun and antics.

Does Robert Pattinson have Asperger’s Syndrome?

Robert Pattinson

I love Robert Pattinson. The dreamy vampire in the “Twilight” series of movies is dark-eyed and mysterious. He is also quiet and reclusive in his real life. But that does not mean that he has any ties to autism. People with autism are often seen as eccentric and introverted. They have a difficult time understanding emotion and many so diagnosed will often shun people. Pattinson does not fawn in the limelight; he seems to prefer his own space. Does this make him autistic? Far from making him seem autistic, it makes him seem like an average joe. Suggesting he may be autistic sounds petty and misconstrues his wished for a normal life.

Soccer has become increasingly popular in the United States (for some odd reason), so people want to know about the best teams and their players. In the English leagues, there is no more historic program than Manchester United and one of their best players is Paul Scholes. For years people wondered whether his son had autism and Scholes admitted that he had been so diagnosed and that Scholes was also sponsoring autism awareness fund raisers. An athlete, whether he or she likes it or not, is a role model. This speaks well for the soccer star as an athlete fulfilling his duty and as a person.

Paul Ryan is a prominent congressman from the state of Wisconsin. He was recently the running mate of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. The two men were unsuccessful in their bid, so Ryan has returned to his duties as a congressman. Some have asked whether his son has autism, but there has been no admission from Ryan or his wife and no press coverage that speculates that this rumor is true. It spread because Ryan refused to vote for a bill which would supposedly give additional health coverage to those with autism and breast cancer. The Congressman had no comment.

One episode of “Family Guy” actually dealt with this question to some degree. Peter is a buffoonish character who stumbles through life creating chaos. In the episode in question, he was told by a doctor that he was retarded (the term commonly used now to denote this archaic diagnosis is developmentally challenged or delayed). He was given a pass by society because he was considered mentally challenged. A sign was erected in front of his house to warn motorists of his disability. However, autism was never mentioned. The character does display below average intelligence, but he has none of the other characteristics associated with autism.

“The Monkees” were a musical group compiled by TV executives to play themselves on a campy show in the 1960’s. They were a group of four young men, playing on the beach, and playing some very popular original songs which still get airtime. Peter was a tall gangly member of the band who often was the fall guy to the other three’s schemes. It has often been rumored that he may have had autism and the question was answered as yes…a mild form. Asperger’s syndrome is a very mild form of autism in which the sufferer has some of the symptoms, but can function perfectly well in society.

Video games have become a passion in the United States and around the world. One of the most popular is a game from Japan called Pokémon. The creator, Satoshi Tajiri, has gained worldwide fame for both the game and the cartoon that follow the antics of a group of real game players. He is also famous for having admitted that he has a mild form of autism. He has worked in his native country and places around the world to raise awareness of the syndrome and his advocacy has given a voice to other members of that fraternity. Asperger’s is the name commonly given to the mild form of autism that Mr. Tajiri suffers from and he is not shy advocating for research and development.

Phil Mickelson is one of the best golfers on the planet. He has currently won five major championships (the pinnacle of his sport) and many more tournaments through the years. He had a great relationship with his father, who taught him to play golf (left handed because courses play better for lefties), and has become a devoted father in his own right. His son however, is not autistic according to press coverage. After looking through a great deal of press coverage which would have divulged any connection with the disorder, it is safe to say that Evan is not autistic.

Phil Kessel came to fame as the first US Hockey player to score a hat trick in an Olympic hockey game in more than two decades. He was a key player for the US Hockey team at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. One story about the player that made the rounds as he was working to win a gold medal was that in his early years as a player (when he was just 19) he contracted testicular cancer. He recovered, because it was caught early, but has said that the diagnosis changed him and made him a cancer fighting advocate. He does not have autism.

Alecia Beth Moore Hart A.K.A Pink is a musician who became popular in the early part of the 2000’s and has maintained some of her momentum through the years. Her style is one of girl power and rage against the machine that is familiar from the days when punk bands were a mainstay. She is a mother and as such has also been outspoken on family issues, but it does not appear that she has an autistic child. She did receive a request from a fundraiser for a silent auction item on her website, which became somewhat famous, but her children seem to be okay.
