No. Autism is not like locked in syndrome. The two are totally different. A number of children with Autism have damage to a particular part of their brain. Since they are children, many of them can be taught to use a different part of their brain for communication. On the other hand, several different commutation problems have been given the catch all diagnosis of Autism.

With Locked in Syndrome the problem is not in the brain but with the brain's ability to communicate with that part of the body that communicates with the outside world.

Does Radha Mitchell have Asperger's Syndrome?

From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.
