There are several Autistic people who are famous, and who are open about being Autistic.

Courtney Love, Dan Aykroyd, and Daryl Hannah are some of the better known Autistic people. It is very likely that there are other famous Autistic people, especially in the arts, but often people go undiagnosed or will hide their diagnosis because of prejudice against Autistic people.

No, an underage child with autism cannot stay home alone in the state of Florida.

It doesn't matter whether the child is autistic or not, if they are underage then they cannot stay home alone. Leaving the child alone would be illegal and they may get into trouble while alone.

No, there's no evidence of Marilyn Monroe being Autistic.

At the time of Marilyn Monroe's life Autism as a diagnosis was barely formed and certainly she'd not have received diagnosis - if she was Autistic her symptoms were not severe enough for a diagnosis at that point in time, and Autism was still thought of as a 'male' disorder so up until the 1990's very few women were diagnosed as Autistic. Even when looking at retrospective diagnosis there's little to nothing to suggest that she was Autistic - although in females it is much harder to diagnose.

Marilyn Monroe had multiple mental health issues - anxiety, depression, mild acrophobia, and possible personality disorders (as you'd expect from someone who basically lived as her alter-ego!). Also as someone with a history of sexual and physical abuse in her childhood there may have been additional mental health concerns, certainly this was one explanation into her severe insomnia and there are multiple health issues related to insomnia including unusual behaviour.

Yes.

While Asperger's has only recently been 'discovered' the syndrome has been in existence probably as long as man has been around. There are probably tens of thousands of people living now that meet the diagnostic requirements that have no idea that they are dealing with Asperger's and that is what causes some of their idiosyncrasies and difficulties.

An aspie certainly can marry. Whether or not he/she wants to marry may be another question. Asperger's is high functioning autism the operative word being high. They are not freaks or weirdo's. Aspies have jobs, degrees, owns homes, drive, pay their own bills, and volunteer. They are not mentally deficient, and the law says nothing about banning them from marriage.

Yes, but it can be difficult, since a spouse will normally expect a certain degree of intimacy and affection. It is important for the person with AS and their spouse to understand the syndrome. It is also important for the person with AS to stretch as much as they can to make their spouse feel loved.

Many people with AS decide that marriage is too much of a burden because of the above reasons.

I have AS, and marriage can be quite difficult at times, but my husband understands AS and cuts me some slack, and I try to meet him halfway.

They can get married. Some co-workers of mine who both have Asperger's Syndrome were recently married to each other. They understand the condition and seem to have fewer relationship difficulties caused by Asperger's Syndrome than marriages I know between one person with Asperger's Syndrome and one neuro-typical person.

Many married Aspies, I note, choose to ditch many of the 'standard chapters of the rule-book' on marriage written for mainly typical marriages. They often radically opt for differences as far-reaching as where precisely they each live, how often they are together and at what times, how to allow consciously for 'down-time' or 'processing-time' for the AS partner, how to improve intimacy and yet limit intensity, how to manage a need for structure and timing, widely exploring visual and other communication forms, facilitating-with-care exposure to elements of spontaneity and unruliness (e.g. teen children from 13yo to adult children up to 25yo or more), etc.

I am an Aspie and have been married for 19 years, to the first woman I fell in love with when I was 18.

As many have said, there are absolutely no obstacles to Aspies marrying. Nor are there necessarily any problems guaranteed to occur; speaking as an Aspie, I have difficulty with body language and so on - but am nevertheless in a very comfortable and affectionate relationship. In other words, the only thing that can be said to apply to all Aspies is that no two are alike.

Unfortunately not. Not if you are an American citizen or legally-resident alien.

The United States Marine Corps adheres to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and as such, it expressly disqualifies persons with any mental-health conditions that may be considered adverse from joining its ranks under any conditions.

Well be patient with a person who has that asperger's syndrome. cause their is a medicine for but it a sign it come from the father or mother. so you can read up on more about this. it a balance in the brain that doesn't wont to work. some people are born with it don't know they got it.

Try not to ridicule your friend or alienate him/her for their lack of understanding. If you want to take the time to explain things to the friend, then YOU will have a friend for life.

Since, Asperger Syndrome is called a developmental disorder, not a mental illness and most adults with Asperger Syndrome can learn how to make friends, do useful work and live successful lives.

I am pretty sure that the treatment lies in sticking with a friend, being patient and telling him/her repetitively on how to behave with the people he/she encounters. Before doing that. you need to make sure that you are in his/her good books and also you shouldn't feel bad or loose hope if the person suffering does not behave with you properly. If you don't think that you have the patience to do the same, you should leave the person alone.
