[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Einstein: I am usually annoyed with the idea of diagnosing the dead, but I've always been intrigued with the idea that he had AS.  As a young child he confused pronouns (my DS with AS did as well) had tantrums, could not function in school and then developed into the brilliant obsessive we all know of.  I agree with PP that social deficits does not mean no ability to socialize.  My oddball DS has plenty of friends.  And remember that Einstein was recognized as a brilliant physicist, I believe in his 30s (40s?) which would help a person's social life.

I also think its important to emphasize that not all kids with AS are brilliant.  There are plenty of people who dismiss the challenges of AS because they think these kids are all super geniuses.  All it means is that they don't have an intellectual disability.[/quote]

Did you read "[b]Diagnosing Jefferson", by Norm Ledgin?  He makes a very compelling case that Thomas Jefferson had Asperger's.   [/b]While it's pure speculation to diagnose dead people, I admit I do it a lot with members of my own family ever since DS was diagnosed.  It's pretty glaring too since their symptoms are all worse than DS who actually has a diagnosis.  LOL![/quote]

Thanks for sharing - this sounds interesting. I'm definitely going to have to get this book![/quote]
