[quote=Anonymous]Or this article, whee Baron-Cohen admits he was just speculating:

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3676-einstein-and-newton-showed-signs-of-autism/

hey were certainly geniuses, but did Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton also have autism? According to autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen, they might both have shown many signs of Asperger syndrome, a form of the condition that does not cause learning difficulties.

Although [b]he admits that it is impossible to make[/b] a definite diagnosis for someone who is no longer living, Baron-Cohen says he hopes this kind of analysis can shed light on why some people with autism excel in life, while others struggle.

and later

But Baron-Cohen thinks [b]the idea is still worth considering[/b] – there may be certain niches in society where people with AS can flourish for their strengths rather than their social skills, he says. “This condition can make people depressed or suicidal, so if we can find out how to make things easier for them, that’s worthwhile.”[/quote]
