Sir Anthony Hopkins was apparently diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, according to this article. Sir Edmund Burton likewise is autistic ; he was an energetic, angry child who always seemed to be pushing at an invisible boundary, and as he grew he learned to direct his energy and rage toward practical causes, those which required a firm guiding hand. His father worried for several years as to whether to induct him into the Witwiccan mysteries, misunderstanding his rage at the ill-fitting world for psychosis. Unbeknownst to him, Edmund had already known much of the secret history of the ❛ Transformers ❜ for decades, since meeting the Cybertronians BUMBLEBEE and HOT ROD as a child during World War II.
He was finally diagnosed with Asperger’s at sixty-eight years of age, the culmination of a lifetime spent learning to live with his own neurological differences. Cogman, who served the line of Folgan for seven hundred years, is quite convinced that it runs in the family.
