[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, let me introduce to your new friend, wikipedia:  List of famous people with Asperger's syndrome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_autism_spectrum_disorders[/quote]

Totally bogus, made up speculation about who might have had autism/Asperger's.

[b]Einstein certainly didn't have Asperger's.  Nor does Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. [b]That's just a bunch of wishful thinking on some parents' part. [/quote][/b][/b]

Thank you for wandering onto this board.

Please cite your evidence.

Otherwise, don't let door hit you on your way....[/quote]

I didn't "wander on to this board." I'm here all the time.  I'm not sure why I should have to "prove" the obvious....but while we are at it, where's the "proof" that they were/are autistic?? There's zero evidence. (Well, not counting that GREAT unsupported Wikipedia cite.)

Einstein's biography makes it pretty clear he didn't have Asperger's.  Have you read it? Gates and Jobs are geniuses...with all the quirks that come with it.  [/quote]

Other people disagree with this.

Researchers at Cambridge and Oxford universities believe both scientists displayed [b]signs [/b]of Asperger's Syndrome.

Uh, so what. Lots of people have "signs" of autism, and are not autistic. Einstein had close  friends, was a ladies' man, and functioned well in society. Gates has myriad friendships growing up, and plenty of girlfriends. Jobs was a bit of a jerk....doesn't make him autistic.

It is just so aggravating to see these ideas thrown out as fact when they aren't.
