Asperger Achiever

I have a file in my office that contains information on famous individuals who may have some of the characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome. At present, the potential diagnosis of such achievers is highly speculative but I suspect that we will eventually recognise how such characters have provided many major advances in both science and art. Only when individuals have agreed to publication of their association with Asperger's Syndrome will we be able to recognise them as Asperger's Achievers.

In the April 29, 2001 edition of the Sunday Times Magazine (a British Newspaper) Gary Numan states:

“Polite conversation has never been one of my strong points. Just recently I actually found out that I'd got a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome which basically means I have trouble interacting with people. For years, I couldn't understand why people thought I was arrogant, but now it all makes a bit more sense”.

His first no. 1 single, Are “Friends” Electric? was released in 1979 and he has released 18 albums and is still creative in writing music.
