Famous people on the autistic spectrum
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:58:57 AM »
I know there have been quite a number of people living and deceased who have speculated to be on the Autistic spectrum, however I will add in some people who I believe are or were on the Autistic spectrum. Who not been discussed to any significant degree.

David Lynch
Tim Burton. Tim Burton's former flame Helena Bonham Carter who once played a mother of autistic children in a British mini series said Tim Burton is on the spectrum.
Thom Yorke
Kurt Cobain

How do you know? I thought that was just an Internet rumour.

I stand corrected on their relationship, Tim Burton is her 'domestic partner' and have two children. I thought they broke up a while ago  :-\
