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.

Yes, "signs" b/c they are dead and you can't definitely diagnose dead people.  It's speculation and no, it's not fact but a game that many people like to play obviously.  If you don't like it, don't play.[/quote]

Also, we are talking about Asperger's not autism.  Know lots of people who "functioned well in society" who would in all likelihood qualify for an Asperger's diagnosis if they were children nowadays and not 40, 30 years ago when they were children when Asperger's was not recognized.  [/quote]
