bein clean all the time ain't really an obsessive gesture, now....i know lotsa folks who keep themselves up too, and they ain't obsessive-compulsive.

s'more like being high maintenance, if anything.


I know - I was kinda being sarcastic, but you have to agree.....the man is so IMMACULATE and IMPECCABLY manicured, brushed, ironed, dressed, made-up! Much more than many pics of other famous people I've seen smile

very true! nod

My girlfriend's brother has Asperger's Syndrome. As mentioned in the article, it means the person is high-functioning, though has some symptoms of autism. I can tell you that Prince is nothing like a person with Asperger's Syndrome or any other form of autism.

Autistics also have something else not clearly mentioned in the article (which I can declare simply from listening to his songs, Prince doesn't have), which is an almost complete inability to appreciate the emotions of other people. It's obvious that Prince can appreciate others' emotions and does so on a regular basis due to the romantic nature of many of his songs and the fact that he has been with many women and currently has a wife.

No, Prince is not autistic, just very gifted and a little "different".

I've never seen a more true post on the .Org. My little brother has Asperger's Syndrome as well, and I can tell you without a doubt that Prince does NOT have any similar type of autism. I co-sign this post big time!


thumbs up! thanks, mate.

I have worked closely with persons with Autism for the last 6 years and i assure you he has NONE of the traits accocciated with AUTISM. But I do think he may have some Dyslexia...(well Christopher Tracy did anyway)

I always thought Prince was Dyslexic or had some learning disability with all the preschool spelling (i.g. to being 2, you being U) you know what I mean.

The only affliction prince suffers from is that he cant act.

Say no more:

Prince: "Their image of me comes from the media. And uh, my friends
don't think of me as private or odd or unusual. Ah, but it is
understandable that people will come away with that notion based on
things that the media regurgitates."
