We have. Gem, Gemma, and Dax. They weren't leaders, though...

Don't forget about asperger's syndrome. Any way to make a difference that we're all human are we?

[Matrixbeast]

Asperger was removed as a diagnosis a few years ago.

Actually it was not so much "removed" as it was "annexed by the prime classification of Autism."

I think that's about as close as we can and should get.

Also Sentai King, I think you'll find that a good deal of members around here fall on the Autistic Spectrum, myself included. And on their behalf I'd ask that you show a little respect and common decency.

I haven't watched the series, but these characters had forms of mental issues related to autism?

Gem, Gemma, and Dr. K were forcefully (Well, I don't remember how forceful it was, thinking on it...) abducted and basically isolated from everyone (Sans each other).
Though from how K acted, it seems she always had some issues.

I say Dax was also autistic because just watch the guy. The hell is wrong with him?

[GreenPsychoRanger]

Ok. I always figured Dr. K was just uppity because of her age. I've heard that the character is rather young. Also, I am now watching RPM. I finally broke. Soggy reminds me of a younger, child friendly, version of Vex from Lost Girl with his attitude and certain gestures.
