They haven't mentined it because all four of them are pretty close to making DSM-IV criteria for Aspergers. (From my experiences in graduate school, an awful lot of professors in the sciences are Aspies.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798243306334837078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506646250057688997.post-46596689410910520292009-07-15T20:37:38.279-04:002009-07-15T20:37:38.279-04:00Yes since I had posted this I have become more and...Yes since I had posted this I have become more and more convinced.

"We don't think his mom ever took him in for a diagnosis," says Prady." <BR/><BR/>But, I don't care what they say, Sheldon's 100% Aspie through-and-through, and his charming sweet portrayal of the character has given hope to thousands!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506646250057688997.post-83328075443705385932008-05-12T20:29:00.000-04:002008-05-12T20:29:00.000-04:00Hi, I'm the mom of a kid who has Asperger's.

I love the character of Sheldon ... he is definitley the most Aspie of them all. The other characters are funny, too, and Penny is darling and sympathetic. I hope that a hot, blonde girl with a heart of gold befriends my son one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506646250057688997.post-79961585575738201762008-04-14T20:15:00.000-04:002008-04-14T20:15:00.000-04:00I have no doubt that Sheldon at least has Asperger...I have no doubt that Sheldon at least has Asperger's Syndrome. I don't understand why the writers/producers don't write it into the show. Autism Awareness is important. We need more autistic characters in entertainment.
