Why do famous people have Asperger's Syndrome?
A small fraction of the population has Asperger's Syndrome. It is likely that some of these people would become famous. People with Asperger's Syndrome can excel in their special interest areas and thus can become famous in those areas. There are famous historical people who are speculated to have Asperger's Syndrome because of a few traits known about them. They did not necessarily have Asperger's Syndrome.
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.
Has anybody been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome but later found out they have Asperger's Syndrome?
Yes. There are people who have both Tourette's syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome. Depending on the severity of each, sometimes Tourette's syndrome will be diagnosed before Asperger's Syndrome. Both conditions have echolalia as a possible symptom, so if it is diagnosed as an element of Tourette's syndrome, it might not be considered as a symptom of another condition, which could delay diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. However, Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed based on a number of symptoms, so a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome would probably mask only a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. Before Asperger's Syndrome became a recognized condition, it was diagnosed as other conditions. It is possible that one of those misdiagnoses could have been Tourette's syndrome.
Do people with Asperger's Syndrome have difficulty in smiling?
Physically, people with Asperger's Syndrome can smile. However, they are likely to use less nonverbal language that a neurotypical person and might not understand when smiling would be appropriate.
Would you diagnose the WKRP in Cincinnati character of Les Nessman as having Asperger's Syndrome?

Can Asperger's Syndrome be mistaken for high IQ?
I think it would be unlikely that Asperger's Syndrome (AS) would be misidentified as high IQ; however, a person with Asperger's Syndrome might also have a high IQ. A person with AS will have various symptoms, some of which might cause a misdiagnosis of an attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a learning disability, or other conditions. As an example, it seems unlikely that a medical professional would explain rarely speaking, an intense interest in doorknobs, lack of eye contact, or experiencing extreme anxiety when lights flash as having a high IQ. A person can have both Asperger's Syndrome and a high IQ, only Asperger's Syndrome, or only a high IQ. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome have a high IQ. Most people with a high IQ do not have Asperger's Syndrome.
Does it mean you have Asperger's Syndrome if you love pigs?

Does Lisa Simpson have Asperger's Syndrome?
