Jerry Newport (born August 19, 1948) is an author with Asperger's Syndrome whose life was the basis for the feature-length movie Mozart and the Whale (2005). He is known for his frank advice and is often humorous (on purpose) when giving presentations. Jerry is seen as an inspiration to many in the Autism/Asperger's community. He is also a savant, with the ability to perform extremely difficult and intricate mathematical calculations entirely in his head.
