It seems like people are looking back and saying that certain people in history had Aspergers syndrome, like Albert Einstein. I mean is that for real? As someone who has a brother with Aspergers, I find it extremely hard to believe.

>> No.3377123

Not everyone is your brother.

Believe it.

>> No.3377132

No, as gifted people often have the same traits as those with aspergers.

>> No.3377146

No, this is one of the hallmarks of Asperger's syndrome sufferers, the attribution of their disease to noted intelligent (and deceased) people in history as a way of justifying their inability to empathize.

>> No.3377158

I would say it's done mostly by people who don't have Aspergers. Hollywood makes people with Aspergers often seem like savants.

Impossible to know whether or not Einstein had Asperger's, as he died before he could be tested for anything.

Asperger's comes in many different flavors. For some people, you wouldn't even notice it had you met them on the street, and for others, they have to live in mental institutions the rest of their lives.

You sound like you suffer from Asperger's yourself. Ashamed on the internet?

Not just aspergers.

Those The Secret/Law of Attraction people. They like to claim that Einstein, Tesla, Newton, successful/brilliant people throughout history lived by their fucktarded philosophy.

What?

Nope. Hitler didn't "empathize" with the people he killed because he was raised in an era when racism was socially acceptable and encouraged.

Saying Hitler has Aspergers is like saying that every single slave owner in history was also an asspie

Its called the autistic spectrum, there are many varying degrees of autism, some arent affected as much as others.

I was diagnosed with it when i was 14, everyone i know says if i didnt tell them i had it they wouldnt have known and on the other hand i know a kid diagnosed with autism who is in a world of his own, he doesn't even speak, and doesnt really seem to notice someone until they talk to him directly.

I have Asperger's syndrome. It's very hard for me to talk about. I am self-diagnosed.

It all started back when I was younger and I was getting bullied in high school. Three bullies would come over and punch me every day in the shower room. One of these days I happened to catch sight of a bulge in one of the bullies pants. From this point on I honed my new found AS talents for better use...

I drew penises. I drew lots and lots of penises, everywhere, on everything! Sometimes instead of balls with the penis I would just make more penises. It was very similar to these neat fractal pictures I had caught sight of on the internet. This is about the time I got into math. I found that I could do really hard problems without even sweating it. Here I was... 22 and solving tough shit like 99 divided by 3, while the rest of my friends were off getting trolled into that college bullshit.

I don't need college. Einstein and Shakespeare both dropped out of school and look at them. I know I'll be as successful as them someday cause they have AS too. We can usually tell if another person has AS.
