There are a lot of famous Asperger's lists on the internet but I wanted to pick some of my favorite Asperger candidates who I related to, the thought of famous Jehovah's Witnesses list came to mind but most were only Witnesses for a short period of their childhood with the exceptions of Mickey Spillaine and Prince
this list is the humorists (Recent Additions/Updates)
