Given he's a celebrity and able to afford it I wonder whether he was diagnosed privately. That's an option not realistically available to many of us who are middle aged and whose childhood coincided with a time when the definition of autism was much more narrow.
There are quite a few of us out there with marked autistic traits/could very well be on the spectrum who struggle to get our problems recognised enough to be put forward for assessment.

Often we are seen in negative and unflattering terms and certainly don't get the help and support we need . Personally I would like to see a program that focuses on those of us in that unfortunate position rather than a celebrity with aspergers.
