>>223437806Not definitively. In Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels, Lisbeth Salander is strongly coded as potentially autistic, and Asperger syndrome is explicitly raised as a possibility, but the books deliberately stop short of giving her a confirmed diagnosis.Mikael Blomkvist wonders whether she has Asperger syndrome because of traits such as:extreme social difficulty and withdrawalan unusual, highly literal communication styleexceptional ability with computers and informationextraordinary memoryintense concentration on subjects that interest herdifficulty understanding or participating in conventional social relationshipsHowever, Holger Palmgren, her former guardian, makes an important qualification: some aspects of Lisbeth fit descriptions of Asperger's very well, while others do not. Her traumatic childhood and subsequent abuse also provide alternative explanations for some of her social and emotional characteristics.So the most accurate answer is: Lisbeth is deliberately written as possibly autistic, but she isn't canonically established as autistic. The ambiguity is particularly significant because other characters repeatedly try to pathologize her behavior and use psychiatric labels to portray her as incapable or dangerous.One additional wrinkle: Asperger syndrome was the terminology used in the novels, whereas today it is generally subsumed under autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
