[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP didn't just make that up. It's widely accepted in the ASD community and by experts that Einstein was on the spectrum.

OP, sorry you were so unfairly targeted here. Bunch of ingoramuses. Here's a list of books, hope you'll find a couple that are helpful. At least one of them also lists Einstein as having had ASD. You're a great parent, good luck! http://www.parenting.com/gallery/autism-books?page=2[/quote]

From your link:

Speculation of this sort is, by necessity, based on reported behavior and anecdotal evidence rather than any clinical observation of the individual. P[b]sychologist and author Oliver Sacks wrote that many of these claims seem "very thin at best",[12] and Fred Volkmar, of the Yale Child Study Center, has remarked that "there is unfortunately a sort of cottage industry of finding that everyone has Asperger's".[13] Michael Fitzgerald's research, in particular, has been heavily criticised, and described by some as "fudged pseudoscience"[14] and "frankly absurd".[/b][15][/quote]
