There are very few famous black people who are openly Autistic, fewer with Asperger's Syndrome - examples of famous Autistic people who are black are rapper and activist 50 Tyson, and savant artist Stephen Wiltshire. Autism is under-diagnosed in black people due to a number of factors including black families being poorer so unable to access diagnostic services, respectability moving black families away from seeking diagnosis for mental health or neurological conditions, also prejudice towards Autism means many black people avoid diagnosis to avoid gaining more prejudice.

Does Radha Mitchell have Asperger's Syndrome?
From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.
