At the very least *3* television crime shows have a cast member who would
appear to be scuffing from the medical malaise known as *Asperger's
Syndrome*

Temperance Brennan in *BONES*
Jerry Espenson in *BOSTON LEGAL*
Adrian Monk in *MONK*

We have come to think of it Dysfunctional Behavior the next Generation.


I know people with Asperger's. Temp and Adrian don't have it. Never saw
the guy in Boston Legel. People with Asperger's are usually much more
handicapped and odd, it is a form of Autism.

The Asperger's-diagnosed character wonderfully portrayed by actor Christian
Clemenson on Boston Legal is "Jerry Espenson."

I'm no expert and can't say if the quirks exhibited by the character were an
'authentic' depiction of the syndrome.. but he was an endearing character
and I really, really miss that show.
