While I was looking this up for myself, I found his mother's website that talks about his struggles with ADHD, so I would say "Yes."

yes he is.
Yupp, He has ADHD that's why he does swimming, to use up all that energy

Many people think so. Usually people are born with this condition, they don't just get it.

In my opinion, yes, Michael Phelps is autistic. All I need do is look at his face to see that. ADHD and ADD are terms people can understandably prefer to use in place of autism because they are milder handicaps and carry less ostracism than does autism. But it is marvelous that Michael found a perseveration that he stayed with to the point of developing his considerable and outstanding talent. This is the positive side of autism. I expect Michael had an exceptionally supportive set of parents who helped give him what he needed to develop the way he did. They, and he, are to be commended for this.

No. He has ADD.Note: Autism cannot be detected by physical appearance; in other words, it cannot be detected by looking at a person's face. It is detected by observing behaviors - and talking to the person about certain issues if the person is old enough.

No, but Olympic swimmer Gary Hall does. He won two gold medals in the 2000 Olympics after being diagnosed.

No. He was diagnosed with ADHD, but some people believe he was mis-diagnosed.
