Half those people are only assumed to have aspergers, but people like George Orwell were never truly diagnosed with it and it's only speculative, and Beethoven was a savant, not an asspie raging on an internet forum; there's quite a distinction, and that's a terrible list and basis for your insult lol

That list was created by Harvard graduates and well-educated people so I think it's fairly trustable.
