¿Quiénes son algunas personas famosas con autismo?
People with autism are often characterized by having differences from the general population in social skills and Habilidades de comunicación. Many will frequently present certain behaviors which may be different from what is considered normal. While some people might not act in ways expected by society, this does not mean that they are necessarily incapable or less capable than others. Additionally, many people who have been diagnosed as on the spectrum will have traits that others don’t often notice, though these traits might be more easily seen in others on the spectrum. For this reason, there are many people with ASD, including numerous famous people with autism, that you may not be aware of.
A continuación, Paracaídas Azul echa un vistazo a los ricos y famosos que padecen autismo. El hecho de que sean conocidos y tengan logros ejemplifica que pertenecer al espectro no significa ser discapacitado. Más bien, las personas con autismo tienen capacidades diferentes, y a veces tener diferencias es bueno. Siga leyendo para saber más sobre algunas de las personas más famosas del espectro.
¿Quiénes son los actores autistas más famosos?
The most famous autistic actors include those that have been in highly acclaimed productions. Perhaps the most famous actor is Anthony Hopkins. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s as a child, and the symptoms that were most manifested in him include obsessive thinking and difficulty maintaining friendships.
Otra persona con espectro autista que ha estado en el candelero es Heather Kuzmich. Diagnosticada a la edad de 15 con síndrome de Asperger, fue concursante de America's Next Top Model en 2007. Tras la conclusión de la temporada, Heather fue entrevistada por populares programas de televisión, como Good Morning America y Access Hollywood. Luego, en un número de 2009 de la revista Glamour, se afirmaba que "se ha convertido en un modelo a seguir".1
Daryl Hannah, known for such films as “Wall Street” and “Splash,” was diagnosed as being on the spectrum when she was a young child. As she was born in 1960, at the time, the doctors advised that she be medicated and institutionalized. Instead, her mother relocated with her to Jamaica. It’s a good thing, too, because who else could so innocently explain having a screeching sound for a name?
¿Quiénes son algunas otras celebridades autistas?
Los famosos con autismo no son sólo actores. Muchas otras celebridades son conocidas por estar dentro del espectro. Quizá la más relevante de estas celebridades sea Elon Musk, el fundador de Tesla y una de las personas más ricas del mundo. Elon admitió su diagnóstico en su monólogo de apertura cuando presentó Saturday Night Live en mayo 8, 2021, ante una audiencia nacional.
There are some celebrities who have yet to receive any official diagnosis of being on the spectrum, such as comedian Jerry Seinfeld, writer and director Tim Burton, and actor and comedian Dan Akroyd.2 Then there are those who are suspected as having been affected by ASD, such as Albert Einstein.
En cuanto a Einstein, como falleció en 1955, no hay forma de que lo sepamos de forma innegable. Pero, si estuviera dentro del espectro, sin duda sería considerado una de las personas más famosas con autismo y una de las que ha cambiado el mundo. Sus contribuciones a la ciencia durante su vida le convirtieron en una de las personas más influyentes del mundo, y su impacto se sigue percibiendo hoy en día.
