Though it’s never a stated fact in the film, the character of Amelie Poulain in the film “Amelie” displays a number of tendencies that one with Asperger’s would display, and the character is proudly claimed by the Aspie community as one of their own. Those who insist Amelie falls on the Autism Spectrum cite things like her general quirkiness, the w...
Easily the most debated character on our list is Dr. Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory. Does Sheldon actually have Asperger’s, and if so, does the show make fun of those on the Spectrum or embrace them through such a quirky, yet lovable character?

She’s obsessed (obsessed!) with horses, is never quite sure what’s appropriate and inappropriate during conv...
Asperger’s in women is often much harder to detect and diagnose due to symptoms that are often subtle and widely varying, which may explain why female characters with Asperger’s are so rare. But one such female “Aspie” is Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan on the hit crime drama “Bones.” Though actress Emily Deschanel and series creator Hart Hanson wil...
The legal drama “Boston Legal,” from the early 2000s, is likely one of the earliest television shows to have a character with Asperger’s. Jerry Espenson, played by actor Christian Clemenson, may not be the most accurate portrayal of the Autism Spectrum, but the humor Jerry conveyed as a man and lawyer having to overcome the challenges brought on by...
“The Boy Who Could Fly” is about an autistic boy named Eric. Though Eric’s character frequently falls into the trap of feeling more like a stereotype of autism, the movie is often cited by those in the AS community — probably because it is one of the few films to feature an autistic main character and actually admit that he or she is autistic. Firs...
One of the few shows to actually use the word “Asperger’s” to describe its main character is The Bridge. Based on a popular Swedish drama, the show follows Sonya Cross, a detective working to solve a politically charged murder along the U.S. -Mexico border. Detective Cross often tends to be an over-the-top version of a woman with Asperger’s. She do...
