Famous people with ASD / Asperger’s (on the Autism Spectrum)

This list of famous people with Aspergers or Autism Spectrum Disorder is something I am compiling as I discover names.  Some of these folks are self described, some have been diagnosed, some are speculation.  I found some on lists that other folks created and some I found through articles by or about specific people.  In the case of historical folks, they came from other lists and I cannot speak to why they appear on those lists, but if Asperger’s fits my impression of these historical figures, then I am including them on my list, too.
