Aspergers famous people


Question Posted Sunday March 2 2014, 7:27 pm

I have Aspergers. It makes me feel weird to know I am handicapped. Are there any famous people who have overcome this to do great things with their life?

Here's a link to 38 people with photos who have been diagnosed or unofficially believe they have it.

All people have to deal with some kind of thing that is a challenge for them. some are visually challenged such as myself, other's have social anxiety/shyness to overcome, some are blind, deaf, or have other disabilities or handicaps.

I find both words sound kind of limiting to me. They suggest that things could be extremely difficult perhaps to the point of not being able to do the same thing as others. If you view yourself this way, then your mind is going to do most the limiting for you by believing you can't, or its too hard to even bother trying.

I personally like the term "Differently-abled". This suggests that you can have all the same successes that anyone else can, that you just have a different way of getting there.
