* In ''WesternAnimation/MaryAndMax'', Max is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in his 40s. What's strange about this is that he was diagnosed in 1980 (Since he writes to Mary about his diagnosis four years after the start of the film, which was in 1976). While Asperger's Syndrome was known about back then, it wasn't an official diagnosis until the '90s. It would have been very unlikely for Max to be diagnosed at that time, but the fact that he did may have been due to sheer luck on his part.

* One episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' deals with a mild-mannered, middle-aged accountant who fell into crime because his odd behaviors repelled people and made it difficult for him to hold down a regular job. When Goren suggests that he might have Asperger's syndrome (which, at the time, had only been recognized for maybe a decade or so), he's almost relieved that there's a name for it.

* ''Fanfic/ManehattansLoneGuardian'' sees Gray Ghost, a pony with a very cat-like mentality. Leviathan believes that those habits stem from an un-diagnosed mental problem. Gray herself explains that she's tried visiting several doctors in the past to figure out what the problem was, but that her idiosyncrasies were too much of a turnoff to them for her to get a proper diagnosis. [[spoiler:It isn't until well into adulthood--roughly thirty-four years after she started showing these habits--that she discovers that her disorder was brought about unintentionally by an outside party, putting the matter to rest.]]

* In ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', Joyce is a college student before her ''opthamologist'' suggests she should probably look into getting tested for autism, after she covers for her nervousness by getting deep into her St Peter obsession. It's implied that her conservative religious upbringing would have discouraged ideas like that. By contrast, Dina's parents have repeatedly tried to get her an autism diagnosis, but the psychologists they see keep saying her apparent symptoms are actually just because English isn't her first language, even though it ''is''.

* The Gang in ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' is a group of unhinged [[ComedicSociopathy comedic sociopaths]], but Dennis is the only one who's been explicitly diagnosed within the show as having Borderline Personality Disorder in Season 10, and only because he was attempting to con a psychiatrist but answered all of his questions honestly. His sister Dee tries to get him to take his diagnosis seriously, but he's too much of a {{narcissist}} to entertain the idea of there being anything wrong with him.

* In ''Literature/DeathStar'', stormtrooper Nova Stihl goes to get checked out for his [[CatapultNightmare upsetting and consistent dreams]], which are generally about [[DreamingOfThingsToCome ways he may die]] going about his duty. A doctor, Uli, finds the only irregularity that comes up is that Nova's got an unusually high midichlorian count, twice the human average. Uli started practice before the rise of the Empire and in fact served alongside a Jedi healer, so he knows that there's an association between midichlorians and strange dreams, but also that most research in the area was done by Jedi and that data is heavily restricted now. As a good doctor who wants to investigate all avenues Uli still puts in a query for information and sends Nova off with a prescription for sleeping pills. Months later when the query finally makes it through the queue... Uli is arrested for forbidden research, since TheEmpire is just that harsh about anything connected with the Jedi.
