Bob Dylan is mildly autistic

I watched part II of Martin Scorsese's documentary on Bob
Dylan:No Direction Home. I must say that it was well done. Scorsese did an excellent job.

Bob Dylan and his autistic world

Looking at that film, though Bob was entirely comfortable communicating via the channel his autism enthused him toward, he seemed to embrace messages from the outside world only if he could apply them to his autistic world.

He looked at the outside world with his art - and took a 'photograph' of it. But he could not easily explain why there was a bird in the picture flying in the distance, even though he was aware of it as he took the photograph.

Well it really seems that bob can be like other autistic individuals such as The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow ( Temple Grande), or the model heather kuzmich:See other people with AS
