It always strikes me as being pretty cool when famous people are brave enough to talk about the challenges they've faced b/c of their 'differences'.

I stumbled across some interesting information tonight about a celebrity (Dan Ackroyd) who mentions dealing with Asperger's and TS.

When I was minorly psychotic and severely delusional this summer, I was convinced that I had Asperger's. If you met me in person, you would laugh hysterically over this. However, my father has it.

Needless to say, I did lots and lots of research. Many think Bill Gates has it, I saw a video of him stimming on YouTube. I'm not a dr. and haven't met Bill Gates, so I can't say. There are a bunch of other celebrities as well, if you check wrongplanet.net, there is a whole thread devoted to it. They are very dedicated to their threads over there. . .

Thanks for sharing this with everyone! I think it's wonderful when people share their difficulties with others. Furthermore, I think it can be very beneficial to people really struggling to live with Asperger's. Inspirational, I would hope.
