Upon a time, a had the thought that the Winnie the Pooh characters have correlations with kids with special needs, ie Tigger the very model of ADHD, Piglet a little OCD, Pooh a little slow, etc. My daughter has Asperger’s, goes to private school, so’s I’ve met a number of special kids. They all kinda like having like those characters be like them, so I thought Superheroes would be even cooler. Therefore…
Bruce Wayne has OCD, they just never show him checking the lock on the Batcave 7 times in a row.
Peter Parker? total Asperger’s, the geek disease.
So help me out Dopeland, Which superheroes are special?

Sonic the Hedgehog definitely has ADHD.

Bart Allen, Kid Flash II/Impulse, is a poster child for ADHD. Unlike the others here, he’s all but been diagnosed as such. He’s made up for it in recent months by cracking down and using his eidectic memory.

The Question, of course, suffers from acute paranoia.

Wasn’t there an actual paper written about the psychiatry of the Winnie The Pooh characters?

It’s easy to assume Superman has delusions of grandeur.
But he’s _Superman_, man! He’s as grandeur as you can get!

Those little plastic things on the ends of shoelaces are called medulets.
