I recognize myself as someone on the autism spectrum and I remember wondering if he was on the spectrum even before this incident. Caught a video of him when he was trying to explain his creative process and obviously wasn't prepped for it, he was so awkward in a way that reminded me of myself and other aspies I know. Even in his videos, he has this blankness to him that I'm familiar with. His weird dance moves look like glorified stims. He could be an aspie with alcohol problems, I mean many aspies retreat to alcohol because life is just confusing to us. Sure, I'd prefer if Bill Gates or Stephen Spielberg “outed” themselves, but Kanye does need help whether or not he's an aspie. I love what he does with hip hop music, though.

This entire article is an insult to person's with asperger syndrome. In fact your comparison chart is ignorant of autism. asperger and any spectrum disorder.I suggest before you discuss amedical condition you might actually want to open a book or talk to a professional about it rather than perpetuate stereotypes that would not make it into polite conversation. Next time you want to make fun of a disability why don't you just look in the mirror and make fun of the insensitive ignorant jerk (you)who wrote the article

I'm thinking it's less Asperger's and more Alcoholism.

ugh. First, rain man wasn't Autistic, nor did he have Aspberger's. The character was modeled after Kim Peek who has macrocephaly, and other brain abnormalities that make him a mega savant.
Kanye West is a megalomaniac jackass. Let's not insult people with Autism spectrum disorders by comparing them to a jerk shall we?

Can everybody stop talking about this publicity stunt. Kanye, the fishdick we love to hate, Beyonce is a class act, and Taylor Swift is an innocent sympathy waif. We happy now? Okay? This should be the new campaign for moveon.org

Kanye…Asperger's? No.
Kanye…Asshat? More like it.

besides, Rainman had autism. Yeah, technically Asperger's is kind of a milder form of autism, but it's like comparing regular roses to tea roses. Not quite the same thing. If Kanye does have Asperger's, it's a very mild form of it.

mmmm…..Ass Burgers! yummy!

Now do narcissism!

That last one sounds like Sarah Palin

On what planet do you spend most of your time? YOU LIE! Okay, but seriously, no. I have Asperger's and find this extremely offensive. Kanye's just a douchebag, and if he does have a mental disorder, it sure as hell isn't Asperger's. =\
