I'm reminded of a list I've seen circulating on the Internet, of "Famous People Known to Have Autism/Aspergers." It includes Michael Palin (possibly because he's played a couple of socially awkward characters? And his love of trains gets mentioned sometimes? But never any symptoms because he has none) and Jane Austen (who as far as I know left no diaries and very little correspondence) because themes in her writing include class and how individuals fit into society.

Look, I get that if you have a condition, it might be encouraging to know of successful people who also had/have it... but fantasy-diagnosing someone who's been dead for two hundred years? Or a guy who not only displays no symptoms of the condition, but could actually be used as a reference point for the opposite end of the spectrum? That just strikes me as totally counterproductive.

By contrast, I guess, creating autistic headcanons for imaginary people, as opposed to real ones, is not such a problem for me. Unless of course a person can't accept that their headcanon is, in fact, all in their head.

"Unless of course a person can't accept that their headcanon is, in fact, all in their head."

The trouble is that they then pull the old -assburger makes me unable to lie so I have the one true character reading- bullshit on anyone who tries to point out that their headcanon is not canon. There was one particular retard in the Ranma fandom who did that a few years ago and managed to pretty much single handedly shut down several fan sites just by making it too toxic to deal with. Their self diagnosed assburger trumped everyone else, according to them.

AYRT-- Good grief. Being unable to lie doesn't mean a person is incapable of being mistaken.
