There is no publicly known official diagnosis of autism or Asperger's Syndrome for Michael Jackson. People will speculate about various possible conditions he might have that explain his actions. However, only a professional can make that diagnosis with any accuracy, and no such professional is currently known to have made such a diagnosis as yet.

It is unclear whether Michael Jackson's unusual and sometimes bizarre behavior is totally attributable to a diagnosed disease. Michael Jackson's previous doctors and lawyers are saying that he suffered from an eating disorder such as anorexia. (Anorexia is listed as a mental illness.) Jackson was also viewed as very controlling, particularly with his image, and there is speculation that an underlying condition (obsessive compulsive disorder) may have given rise to eating disorders.

One explanation suggested for his many plastic surgeries is "Body Dysmorphic Disorder", a severe distortion in how one views his or her body. Jackson and his brothers and sisters have publicly commented on the physical punishment meted out by his father Joe Jackson when the siblings were younger. This is suggested as another possible cause for many of Michael's later idiosyncrasies.

No! Michael Jackson, as far as his fans know, was in a perfect mental state.

No, Michael Jackson did not have Autism (Asperger Syndrome is Autism). Michael Jackson showed no autistic traits to suggest that he was autistic.
