Asperger's Poster Boy

CBS TV carries The Big Bang Theory, one of the country's favorite TV shows both in prime time and syndication. Its Dr. Sheldon Cooper is, without question, this generation's poster boy for Asperger Syndrome. See the Wikipedia summary of Asperger symptoms:

It is characterized by qualitative impairment in social interaction, by stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language. Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, restricted prosody, and physical clumsiness are typical of the condition, but are not required for diagnosis.

That describes Sheldon, to about three decimal places. He also exhibits obsessive compulsive personality disorder or OCPD.
