Top Ten Famous Scientists and Mathematicians Who May Have Been on the Autism Spectrum
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical ...read more. It was only logical of admin to change it to "may have been".
The origin of these speculations and allegations - for the very people on this list, was fuelled by theirdifferent or rather eccentric habits when it came to routines or their lifestyle, or because they were brilliant or anti-social but that doesn't mean they were on the autistic spectrum, if you use this guesswork It'd mean almost everyone's autistic. There are no proofs, no facts at all, sharing 1 or 2 traits doesn't make them autistic.
Not something one should base their assumptions on.
A guy with stutter, or a girl who refuses to be friends with many or a man who's a little sensitive to light or to human touch - these are all normal human traits.
Assumptions are too baseless to make a list on, let alone giving a title " who are / were on autistic spectrum " when it's not proven in the first place.
Great list sorry that admin changed it but how do we know for sure that these people were autistic if they died before there was such a diagnosis?
Sir Isaac Newton PRS was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution.
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system, X rays, Radio, Remote Control, Laser, and Electric motors. Tesla developed and used fluorescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. Nikola Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. Nope, He wasn't autistic at all.
Charles Robert Darwin ( 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now widely accepted and considered a fundamental ...read more.
