I compiled a list of all the names of famous people with ASD or suspected of having or having had ASD that I could find. My hope is that this list could serve as a reminder to people with ASD who have challenges that there are some famous people who have and/or still do face some of the same challenges, but that they can be very capable, influential people.Furthermore, while some of the names on this list will confirm the stereotypes of ASD, at the same time this list is an indication of the diversity of personalities, talents, deficits, and challenges.It is my contention that autism is the gift of specialized thinking and ability. The autistic brain is more refined and focused by design not by injury or illness. What some may call special gifts accompanied by learning deficits or disabilities is in my mind indicative of a brain that by virtue of its specialized design simply has different and very specific priorities.~ Brian KingDiagnosedDan Aykroyd— Actor, comedian, producer, screenwriter, musician, businessman[1]Jacob Barnett — Physics student, child prodigy, synesthete[2]Susan Boyle — Singer[3]Martin Bryant — Spree killer[4]David Byrne — Founding member, principal songwriter, lead singer, guitarist[5]Bram Cohen — Computer programmer, entrepreneur[6]James Durbin — Singer, guitarist[7]Temple Grandin — Professor of animal science, consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior, autism spokesperson[8]Daryl Hannah — Actress[9]Heather Kuzmich — Fashion model[10]Matthew Labyorteaux — Actor, voice artist[11][12]Clay Marzo — Professional surfer[13]Caiseal Mór — Novelist, artist musician[14][15]Craig Nicholls — Musician; lead singer, songwriter, guitarist[16]Chris Packham — Television presenter, naturalist, award-winning photographer, author[17]Dawn Prince-Hughes — Anthropologist, primatologist, ethologist, adjunct professor, executive chair of ApeNet Inc.[18]Matt Savage — Autistic savant musician[19]Vernon L. Smith — Professor of economics, former research scholar, Fellow of the Mercatus Center[20]Satoshi Tajiri — Video game designer[21]These are the people that have diagnosed themselves or suspected themselves of having ASD. These claims tend to be more credible, as they are often corroborated by people who know them. Omitted from this list is Courtney Love, whose claim of having been diagnosed with autism could not be corroborated.Self-diagnosed/self-suspectedW. H.

I don’t know of anyone who denies that the climate changes. But I personally know over 100 very high-IQ individuals who are skeptical of the unproven hypothesis that human emissions of CO2 are leading to apocalyptic global warming, including many who write on Quora. I have references listing tens of 1000s of others. Here are some of them:One of the first scientists to expose the fraudulent methods of the IPCC climate alarmist politicos was the internationally acclaimed physicist and former IPCC science contributor Dr. Frederick Seitz, A.B. Mathematics, Stanford University (1932), Ph.D. Physics, Princeton University (1934), Proctor Fellow, Princeton University (1934–1935), Instructor in Physics, University of Rochester (1935–1936), Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Rochester (1936–1937), Research Physicist, General Electric Company (1937–1939), Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Pennsylvania (1939–1941), Associate Professor of Physics, University of Pennsylvania (1941-1942), Professor of Physics, Carnegie Institute of Technology (1942-1949), Research Professor of Physics, University of Illinois (1949-1965), Chairman, American Institute of Physics (1954-1960), President, American Physical Society (1961), President, National Academy of Sciences (1962-1969), Graduate College Dean, University of Illinois (1964-1965), President, Rockefeller University (1968-1978), Franklin Medal (1965), American Institute of Physics Compton Medal (1970), National Medal of Science (1973). He became an early enemy and target of the alarmist cabal when he exposed the 1996 IPCC Report for using selective data and doctored graphs, and making changes in reports after the reviewing scientists had approved it. This duplicity compelled him to write in the Wall Street Journal: “I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer review process than events that led to this IPCC report”. A Major Deception on Global Warming, Wall Street Journal, June 12, 1996Dr. Vincent Gray, previously one of the reviewers of IPCC reports states that he is convinced the theory of CAGW promoted by the IPCC “is a comprehensive international-based fraud, and an attack on genuine climate science.” The IPCC WGI Fifth Assessment Report-comment by Dr Vincent Gray 2013. He has also written a treatise about the AGW scam: https://friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/GlobalWarmingScam_Gray.pdfJames Matkin's answer to Are there any prominent and well-respected scientists who do not believe in climate change?Group of French mathematicians and computer modelers debunk the CAGW hoax: http://www.scmsa.eu/archives/SCM_RC_2015_08_24_EN.pdf“Warming fears are the worst scientific scandal in history…When people come toknow what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” – UN IPCCJapanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.Michael Crichton, A.B. Anthropology, M.D. Harvard, author“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe ofscientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” – U.S. GovernmentAtmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.Leading sea level expert Prof. Nils-Axel Mörner (Chairman of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics Department at Stockholm University from 1991 to 2005) has studied sea level his entire career, visiting 59 countries in the process. He calls the claim that 97% of all climate scientists believe global warming is man-made “nonsense” and that the number comes from “unserious surveys. “In truth the majority of scientists reject the IPCC claims. Depending on the field, it’s between 50 and 80 percent.” World Leading Authority: Sea Level “Absolutely Stable”… Poor Quality Data From “Office Perps”…IPCC “False”What consensus? Less than half of climate scientists agree with the IPCC “95%” certaintyNew Study: Majority of Climate Scientists Don't Agree with 'Consensus' | Climate Dispatchhttps://friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/97_Consensus_Myth.pdfThe 97% ‘consensus’Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now SkepticsIn 2009, over 100 scientists, with the courage to speak out, allowed their names to be added as signatories to newspaper advertisements, created by the libertarian Cato Institute, opposing President Obama’s claims that combating climate change was urgent and that the science was beyond dispute. Here is the content of the ad:“Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.” — PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, NOVEMBER 19, 2008With all due respect Mr.President, that is not true.We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now.(1,2) After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events.(3) The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.(4) Mr. President, your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty informing the scientific debate is simply incorrect.1.

The names appeared in a report to the US Senate: “More than 1,000 dissenting scientists from around the globe have now challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former Vice President Al Gore.” The report included many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who had turned against the organization and its agenda. It also noted that the number of dissenting scientists was more than twenty times the number of UN scientists (52) who had authored the media-hyped 2007 IPCC Summary for Policymakers.Here are some comments from a few of the dissenters:UN IPCC contributing author Dr. Eduardo Zorita - “CRU files: Why I think that Michael Mann, Phil Jones and Stefan Rahmstorf should be barred from the IPCC process. Short answer: Because the scientific assessments in which they may take part are not credible anymore. The scientific debate has been in many instances hijacked to advance other agendas. 12 of the 26 scientists who wrote the relevant section of a U.N. global warming report are up to their necks in ClimateGate.” Zorita was a UN IPCC Contributing Author of the Fourth Assessment Report in 2007. Since 2003, he has headed the Department of Paleoclimate and been a senior scientist at the Institute for Coastal Research in Germany. He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed scientific studies.“Hundreds of billion dollars have been wasted with the attempt of imposing a Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory that is not supported by physical world evidences…AGW has been forcefully imposed by means of a barrage of scare stories and indoctrination that begins in the elementary school textbooks.” - Brazilian Geologist Geraldo Luís Lino, who authored the 2009 book “The Global Warming Fraud: How a Natural Phenomenon Was Converted into a False World Emergency.”“I am ashamed of what climate science has become today.” The science “community is relying on an inadequate model to blame CO2 and innocent citizens for global warming in order to generate funding and to gain attention. If this is what ‘science’ has become today, I, as a scientist, am ashamed.” - Research Chemist William C. Gilbert, study published in August 2010 in the Journal Energy & Environment titled “The thermodynamic relationship between surface temperature and water vapor concentration in the troposphere” and he published a paper in August 2009 titled “Atmospheric Temperature Distribution in a Gravitational Field.”Swedish Climatologist Dr. Hans Jelbring, of the Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics Unit at Stockholm University. “The dysfunctional nature of the climate sciences is nothing short of a scandal. Science is too important for our society to be misused in the way it has been done within the Climate Science Community.” The global warming establishment “has actively suppressed research results presented by researchers that do not comply with the dogma of the IPCC.” More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims - Global ResearchWelcome to the International Climate Science Coalition Web Site CLIMATE SCIENTISTS' REGISTER ENDORSERS500 Prominent Scientists Warn U.N.: 'There Is No Climate Emergency'90 leading Italian Scientists sign Petition: “Anthropogenic Origin of Global Warming is an unproven Hypothesis” … Catastrophic Predictions “Not realistic”International Panel Calls for End to Global War on Fossil Fuels (2018)Over 30,000 scientists sign petition denouncing the unproven hypothesis of CAGW: Global Warming Petition ProjectDr. David Evans, mathematician, engineer and climate computer modeler, who worked for the Australian government determining how much reduction in CO2 emissions it should attempt, now believes there is no need to do so because alarmist computer models greatly exaggerated the amount of warming due to CO2.Freeman Dyson is an English-born American theoretical physicist and mathematician, known for his work in quantum electrodynamics, solid-state physics, astronomy and nuclear engineering. Now retired, he spent most of his professional career as a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, alongside such notables as Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman and Robert Oppenheimer. He believes that CAGW computer models are completely unreliable and incorrect because the alarmists do not understand the science of fluid dynamics, which control the behavior of the atmosphere.Ivar Giaever is a Norwegian-American physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 for his work on quantum tunneling in superconductors. Much like Freeman Dyson, he deplores the strong-arm tactics and intolerance of global warming alarmists. He also likens their vehement faith-based belief in anthropogenic global warming without valid scientific proof to a new religion.Enormous listing of skeptical scientists, organizations and polls- http://www.populartechnology.net/2007/10/no-consensus-on-global-warming.htmlHow many silent skeptics are there at NOAA?
