  • everything is a theory at this point , pointless if not for people like us that want to point it out.

  • @blacktigerpaw1 i suppose i was mistaken to believe that a person of such a low intelligence quotient to be able to show anything more than a balance of primal aggression and utter stupidity. you see i have a intelligence quotient of the top ten percent of the population, and i pride myself in my psychological cunning and my vast amount of knowledge. you have shown me that you word is not a source of any knowledge, and i shall casually dismiss your petty insult.

  • @Knifyman now your just being a mean. perhaps you should stop worrying about the Intellectual community, and focus more on you issues of self-righteouss views. after all, i do believe that you are trying to insult. and to be intolerant of those of us is to show that you probably are a bloody moron. and an insecure one at that. after all, arrogance stems from fear, and fear is the most unjustified of all thoughts, simply a way to cope with something you do not understand.

  • @servantofJeruselum77 Sorry, I don't think he speaks retard.

  • @88blockNS what you state seems to be based off of misinformation, along with the stereotypes of modern-day Autism. it is a very insulting statement to many. please, do not be so quick to jump to a conclusion. though to be honest it is not as big of a deal as most make it to be, its simply in the spotlight because some quacks do not understand what ASD is, and rush to a quick diagnosis without proper evaluation.

  • @servantofJeruselum77 "what you state seems to be based off of misinformation" Oh really? What evidence do you have of Einstein being autistic? None. You are the one who is jumping to conclusions for assuming that the man who revolutionized physics was/had autistic/asperger's/ADD/ADHD/ whatever. It's tiring and untrue.

  • you are all missing the point. I am a 21 year old man with a specified case of Asperger's. the key reason Einstein is believed to have a form of Autism is the way he perceived everything. trust me. I can visualize an entire universe when i close my eyes. i can see the majestic beauty of a Galaxy, and break it down into a detailed view of the mechanics of said galaxy, and view the specific dynamics. my mind is this way because of the impact of my Asperger's along with my way of thought.

  • @servantofJeruselum77 BAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW PAY ATTENTION TO ME I HAVE ASSBURGERS BAWWWWWWWWWWW

  • What evidence is there but junk science? There have been tons of tests done on Einstein and it shows that he had abnormal intelligence, but this in no way suggests he had autism or any disorder. I am tired of people labelling great geniuses.

  • @blacktigerpaw1 They want to label him with aspbergers or autism so they can have an excuse to act like they do.

    "Hey, WTF are you doing? Why are you jacking off to furry porn in the park?"

    "Not my problem, aspbergers you know. Einstein had it..."

  • @Knifyman Lol!

  • "[...] remembered worldwide for his accomplishments in the fields of physics and mathematics." What were his accomplishments in mathematics?

  • i got autism i do not like this

  • Albert Einstein didn't have autism or aspbergers. If he had he would have drawn sonic porn and would never have been asked to be the president of Israel. Aspberger is stupid, it's another way to say: I'm a douchebag and I only care for myself and don't you dare complaining about it.

  • @Knifyman That was a brilliant comment.

  • Einstein's brain and behavior like that of all abnormally good people wasn't normal, though I'm skeptical of post-humus diagnosing anyone with anything especially if we want him to be. There are enough awesome scientists we know are autistic spectrum we don't have to dig through history.

  • it's been one week, and 88blocksNS has yet to produce anything to back up what he is saying

  • *does *actualy

  • also autism is a big issue and shouldnt be trivialized. many people with autism live in dislam conditions and never do anything with their lives and dependent on other people forever. lets not focus on ideals like einstein and focus on those who cannot look after themselves.

  • i dont think he did... i think it might have been adhd. i heard he had many friends and was well liked and a humorous person. he did have some issues with intimacy though and was actually a real player with women

  • I have no doubt he had a type of autism. Mumbling sentences after you spoke them is a telltale sign

  • Comment removed

  • I have aspergers and an IQ of 123

  • jbj.jkn;

    

  • I love that picture at the end. It's so funny! XD

  • Comment removed

  • He won the nobel prize for the Photoelectric effect in 1921 please get your facts correct before posting a video

  • @JJHdisney that is physics... durrr

  • @rensdyr1 they were being non-specific and that can lead people to believe incorrectly Z_Z. Just because you say he won his prize for theoretical physics doesnt mean anything. Its a generalized subject that branches out into many categories. Being specific is important when you're trying to explain the accomplishments of a great man. But oh yea ur gonna come back with another smart comment so this is the last time im going to explain myself. Only fools try to win arguements rensdyr1 imakePOINTS.

  • lol bullshit =

  • @JJHdisney I really don't care what any of you think, Einstein was NOT Autistic. And even if he was, what are you gonna do, pamper your autistic child because you think he's a little Einstein? The whole purpose of this video evades me. I'd rather know more important things like what his personal achievements were, not his condition. The fact that you guys point it out probably does more hurt than good. Don't believe me? All of the friends i used to hang with that were autisticf felt like crap

  • @JJHdisney the reason why im telling you this is because it pisses me off to see people being given labels. My friends felt like fucking categorized boxes early in life instead of human beings. If i ever get a son that has autism, I'll act like it doesn't exist and call him by his name. Treat your kids with respect, don't use his/her medical condition as an excuse to treat him/her differently. Its a shitty thing to do and shame on any parent that does it. --

  • @JJHdisney I am shocked by the lack of empathy you exhibit. Children need more than respect. If you have a child and ignore any medical conditions he or she may have perhaps you shouldn't breed. That is the same as , God forbid, a child is born with CP or MS and refusing to get a wheelchair. Ignoring medical conditions do not make them go away. Children are different in general ~ they all deserve to treated and raised individually that would best serve that individual child.

  • @sewpimp i am autistic sew, i can empathize completely with them. what I DONT understand is how you can completely destroy a life through labeling. And BTW autism is a manageable condition, not something you need to shove in the face of your child on a daily basis. Also if my child did have what you're talking about, of course i would give them assistance. Don't assume that my views are going to be the way i handle my kid. I really HATE the fact that you drew such a radical conlusion. --

  • @JJHdisney HATE is a strong word. Perhaps what is plaguing you is deeper than Autism. How exactly did you draw that I am completely destroying a life through labeling? Or that I am shoving anything in anyones face simply because I advocate that all children "deserve to be treated and raised based on their individual needs"? Your comment"Don't assume that my views are going to be the way i handle my kid." is puzzling to me. You views absolutely should dictate how you "handle your kid".

  • @sewpimp its been a while since i last talked to you. And yea i use hate because its what i have for people who do things like label. You cant understand until you've been placed under someone else's thumb and condescended to the way i was. It's a sad world Sew and i really "Hate" to say it but true education comes from self-experience, not from conversing. I've learned to hate a bit less over time though. As for the last line i guess you're right lol.

  • @JJHdisney Sorry about the other tantrums on this. Sometimes i leave these things to forgotten memory. As for labeling, my mind will never change. It's a creative form of child abuse that was used on me. Maybe you don't see it that way but i do k Sew? As for Autism itself it's not a condition lol, if you could live in my body for 5 minutes you couldn't go to a concert, couldn't read body language, or worse think for hours about things that are beyond your comprehension or mine. continuing =

  • @JJHdisney Autism is more along the lines of either one of two things. It's either a CURSE or evolution. My money is not on the latter in my experience. Having to think for hours about everything and leaving time for nothing is not a good way to live an unusual life but it is the way it is. As for concerts i WISH i could go but my sensitive hearing won't permit that sort of activity. Life didn't care when it gave me this design you just have to accept the truth and move on. Continuing =

  • @JJHdisney trust me when i tell you this he is NOT Autistic, he's not. I've read books on him about his behavior and i dont believe he was one at all. One is called Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais, a physicist who knew him and learned about his life. The only sign that he might have had autism was when he was attending an awards ceremony for him and he was busy writing his equations on some paper he brought. He got so into that he blocked everyone else out. When they clapped, lol he clapped.

  • @JJHdisney i highly recommend you read Subtle is the Lord it is the best book for understand Einstein but be warned. HIs mathematical equations are incredibly complicated, especially if you aren't mathematically oriented in nature. however his social life doesn't house math so you shouldn't find any difficulty reading that part of the book.

  • @JJHdisney *understanding*

  • @JJHdisney I strongly believe that professor Einstein was autistic due to several factors. I read around 8 biographies of him and the one I liked the most was Einstein: A Life ^.^

  • @EinsteinMad Z_Z Einstein was not autistic but if you think he is why don't you point out all these "factors".

  • @JJHdisney Einstein resided more in his mind than the average. He was a strong visual thinker and he stated he rarely used words at all when pondering problems.

  • @EinsteinMad lol hahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahah­ahah that's interesting maybe you DO have a legitimate case here. Which book did you get that information from? What you described is a particular behavior of mine buddy. I didn't think a man like him had such an interesting technique to thinking. Still just because of that one you pointed out doesn't necessarily prove anything. I'd like more factors :O

  • dumb video

  • dumb video he never had any of these things

  • Nobody had autism back then, but some people suffered from mercury poisoning. See the book, The Age of Autism.

  • E-mc2 is dead...here's the new GIJ,J=0

  • I'm so sick of these people claiming Einstein as a part of their Autistic community. There have been many tests done on Einstein's preserved brain that proves that he did not have Aspergers or Autism. He showed symptoms of a developmental disability, but everyone is running to Autism these days. It's the new ADD.

  • @88blockNS I had no idea such tests existed. I was under the impression that the medical comunity still had no way of physically diferentiate between a normal brain and an autistic person's brain. Can you please post some links regarding such tests? many thanks!

  • @88blockNS and whare are the published documents on these findings?

  • @88blockNS also perhaps the reasoin why autism "is the new ADD" is because we now have a much better understanding of it then what we used to. we now know that autism is actualy a spectrum of several disorders and not just a from of retardation. some one who is autistic could simnply be ther weired kid in class

  • @jeffrielly There are multiple published documents on this, I'll find them again when I have time, I'm sure a quick Google search will provide it. And no, a new study came out by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showing that Autism / Autism spectrum disorders are over diagnosed by at least 40%. Why? I don't know, but it is.

  • @88blockNS yea and i bet your one of these idiots that's belived it's caused by vaccines right? go watch the episode of "Pen and Teller's bullshit" of vaccines it's here on youtube, as well as there being a glutton alergy right? first and formost autism is a nureobiological disorder nuerological means it is part of the nervous system wich deals with how the brain reacts to various stimuli how is a nutriant going to effect that? rofl epic fail there also biological means it's part of........

  • @jeffrielly Vaccines? No, I don't think that at all. Your the one who just "epic failed." Dude, I'm telling you that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publicly announced that Autism / Autism spectrum disorders are over diagnosed by at least 40%. That is a cold hard fact. What now?

  • @88blockNS ok my mistake on that accusation but a ct scan which doe actual observe the nuerological activity would reveal it or not right? when I got my diagnosis for AS i was fist given a ct scan then verious iq tests as well as sitting in a room with psychologists along with my mother and being asked about my past growing up (i was d/x @ 14)

  • @88blockNS ok it's been 2 weeks now, so whare is your stuff to back your claims?

  • @jeffrielly Uh, I already backed up everything I was saying, re-read what I wrote. What else do you want me to backup?

  • @88blockNS someone's makeup and if it's part of someone's makeup then that means they are born with it epic fail again so i'll say it a again go up to the search browser and type in "Pen and Teller's bullshit: vaccines"

  • Wow. It really seems like he does have autism.

    I mean, he has a lot of characteristics associated with autism that are clearly stated in this video. "A lot of his lectures are considered confusing." Autistic people have a hard time to get their points across.

    It's really comforting to hear that autistic people could be as smart as Einstein if they put their minds to work.

  • if you wanna 'know' something, take the common sense approach when in doubt....if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and ACTS like a duck.....i think you know the rest. If you are one of those who DON'T think Einstein 'looks like a duck', then please refer to previous post "if you have not studied.....please refrain from speaking" ....again, thank you(for not making our lives more difficult with your ignorance and or lack of knowledge)

  • and for all of you who 'think' you know about autism?? if you have not studied something(Autism/Asperger's & their true differences) to professional proficiency, please refrain from speaking....thank you

  • This video needs to be re-edited for people 'on the spectrum.' Not only is the British accent difficult to understand, but there is an AWFUL SQUEAKING going on behind her that makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to understand what she is saying. Which, from what I can decipher, is very intersting. So please....for all us spectrum-watchers out there....CHANGE THE RECORDING....thank you

  • I think he was a gifted right brainer

  • "He was a loner" LOL

  • @wellthisiswhatisay Yeah, a loner... He lived in his own world!! I was a loner at school too, did play with other kids but had very much the need to play on my own too. I was also a slow learner at school although my levels at school were very high and good, using unusual words when I was young.. it was very difficult for my mum in the beginning to understand what I want or needed. I did not speak until the age of 4 or 5.. I'm very surprised about hearing this about Einstein too!!!

  • hello

  • Einstein was documented with a lot of signs but I ultimately think he did not have it. I have autism and it just does not seem to fit.

  • @techn0teen i have the Einstein biography and he found some characterics that only autistic people has like he could remenber everything of his past,"'ordinary"' people doesnt do it unless things that had a big impact.

  • @Lukenetpsbsb

    Be wary of confirmation bias.

  • MY GOD, DOES THIS NARRATOR NEED TO MAKE AWKWARD BREATHING SOUNDS BEFORE ANY SENTENCE SHE SPEAKS?

    I'm not a psychologist or anything, but autism is usually considered a disability, at least by the general public. In my book, being socially aloof yet intelligent doesn't automatically make you "autistic" or "disabled".

    And now him being focused in on physics makes him autistic? You can't be focused on anything without being autistic? WTF?

  • @NorthernEmperor That generally isn't the implication that the narrator is intending to imply.

  • Naaa, Albert Einstein was merely reflective,what psychologists call 'introverted'-that is the trouble with our world, we have to place people in convenient categories, and define people in accordance with restrictive, prescriptive labels..Psychologists cannot conceive of the multiplicity and richness of the variety of people and thought, the nature of creative people-they make me feel physically ill actually.

  • In my view he might have been like all academically inclined high IQ people.... labeled "geeks" or "nerds".. most scientists are like that

  • Aspergers

  • I spotted one mistake in the video clip at around 1:43. According to history, it wasn't "E=mc^2" that was written on the blackboard by Einstein, it should be "Rik = 0?". The creators of this video can't even get the history facts right, I wonder how credible is their "diagnosis" of Einstein's condition.

  • the voice is too mono tone and i dont like it its to distrubing and i cannot watch this video because this person speaking obviously does not care what she is reading.

  • he was dyslexic not autistic duh!

  • This vidio made me feel love for the man and brought tear to my eye, maybe because tomorrow I am starting jurney into Authism. Great vidio

  • see. if people are gestated for more than the usual. the brain have more time to develop. causing to be autistic but nonetheless brilliant.

  • He most likely had severe depression like a lot of people back then and people then including geniuses just didn't go out their way to be sociable and had more time on their hands.

  • The last picture totally proves it.

  • i have problems talking to others too. it's just red tape. fuck these accusations. that's like saying a guy with a broken leg has polio.

  • Scientists are dropping the aspergers label for autism according to an article in the NYTimes a few months ago.

  • @Jenchens Not exactly true. When the new classification manual (DSM - V) comes out in 2012/3 there has been discussion that Asperger's MAY be labelled as Mild Autism. But since recent research suggests Asperger's may actually be a stand-alone condition, similar to but separate from Autism, this is unlikely to happen. Until more definitive research is done to better understand the Asperger's/Autism connection the name is likely to stay as is.

  • I had not realized he had a speech delay to age 4! (to those going "more Aspergers", the speech delay is significant enough that he would get an HFA rather than Aspergers Dx)

  • Might it be Aspberger's instead?

  • Might it be Aspberger's instead?

  • @zavatone actually its probably aspergers

  • If jesus were around today they would lock him up for shizophrenia

  • @davetoporek Thats right - But dont go too far...in the 80s if you behaved differently they would just call you an eccentric and noone would be bothered by you. These days, if you are different they label you as wierdo, psycho and a public threat. How times have changed. This modern pill society makes aspies want to go and hide away from any social environment.

  • @davetoporek You have no idea how true that is lol.

  • @davetoporek I literally told my calvinistic mom something similar and she smacked me across the face!

  • @davetoporek Likely! Spelled Schizophrenia. Download spellchecker for youtube at majorgeeks. More likely Dissociative Identity “Disorder” though these very high functioning Folks often campaign for neurodiversity tolerance right along with us Autists. His God-part is a “Walk-in” Persona obviously. Christ did have depression to the point His Heavenly Father had to supply Frankincense which when burned & inhaled is an Antidepressant. If He's not ashamed to use help none of us should be!

  • @davetoporek if jesus was not around today &every day you wouldent find mercy any where ...... take care there is a great diffrence between real christianity & those who think they are christians ... try to read the holy bible espacailly the parts that deal with jesus himself his miracals & his advices .... believe me you shall never feel peaceful far from jesus

  • @davetoporek How so?

  • Obviously people who talks stupid about this don't have autistic kids. Whatever...

  • desantriciscism beyond my bias cerelbeliamosisism of lisergionasic loebanohan desimentreiobolesc noeldesmoas

  • He was absent minded.

  • OH WAIT, GUYS, HE ALSO HAD A LEARNING DISABILITY AND EPILEPSY. AND HE WAS PROBABLY SCHIZOPHRENIC BECAUSE HIS SON WAS TOO. Why are people so intent on labeling the guy? He was probably one of the most intelligent people to ever walk the face of the Earth, it only makes sense that others would perceive him as a little eccentric, jeez.

  • According to researchers Einstein had ADHD, Dyslexia AND ASD. Riiiiiight. I don't think Einstein "fits" as he seemed to have a better understanding of humanity than the average person, whereas those with ASD have difficulty recognising others as intentional agents and appear to lack Theory of Mind. NO ONE can know for sure, but it seems there's a trend for prominent figures in history to be dx'd after death with x, y or z. You can be BOTH intelligent AND socially inept WITHOUT having a disorder.

  • Very nicely done. I often tell my young autistic clients about the Einstein connection to help them see their strengths. Now I can share this nice video with them to help make the point.

  • google Doe's Account, its mindblowing.

  • Autism or not these kind of people need to know the truth then reading, learning, talking about science, philosophy and humour is the greatest way to keep the feets on the ground and grow up using that way of thinking also provide a positive "shield" againts jaleousy and kind of emotion like that. This is just my opinion, sry for the synthax.

  • The underlying assumption to many arguments, is that there are not alternative (perhaps largely biological) causes to intellectual giftedness.  It is becoming more and more apparent that it is necessary to seperate the concept of fluid intelligence from crystallized intelligence. In general, IQ and fluid intelligence are vaguely related, and there could be individuals whom may lack IQ, have extremely high levels of fluid intelligence.

  • The traits of Asp:

    1) smart

    2) focused thinkers

    3) sensitive to bright lights,aka not blind

    4) they speak out and question

    5) they are not grinning subserviant idiots

    So why did the Nazis(National SOCIALISTS of Germany) want to identify these traits as a SOCIAL disease?Could it be the nail that sticks out gets HAMMERED down?

    Would WinChurchill be asp? Would Neville Chamberlain?

    Hans Asperger claimed that genius needs a touch of autism.The DSM man might remove Asp - about time!!!!!!!!

  • Could you imagine what would have become of Einstein if he was assigned to the special ed teacher???? E = duh???? Does anyone who thinks that the Vygotsky teaching methods of social constructivism is a disaster have a social disease known as Asp???

    Lets not forget that Vygotsky was a member of the Red Oct revolution and taught what it meant to be a good citizen in Soviet society, and claimed that the only science in psychology is that which adheres to the ideologies of Carl Marx..

  • A cigar is a cigar or not? x is in a set or x is not in a set is always true. Hows that for set theory. Freud was an arse with his thumb in his arse and bet on all the horses at the race track & claimed that he always won but never showed his losing tickets.

    As for ethno-cultural phychobable, I call it racism. Maybe you would like to discuss Vygotsky and his pig dung-cow dung experiment and his conclusions from which he determined that ethnicity/race/culture predetermine learning?

  • Asperger was a Nazi,work financed by the Nazis(National Socialist Party of Germany). Asp is a social political creation to identify free thinkers who may become political threats against the nazis, identify them as being social diseased and thus marked for extermination. Edu pyschology has latched onto Asp for the cash cow that it is. Label mable and get your money dear.

  • Aspergers had nothing to do with brain damaged mercury poisoned autisitic children who were messed up by vaccines. Aspergers don't know what the fuck they are talking about when they say its genocide to try and cure a kid who beats his head against the wall until he passes out. Zeolite cures mercury poisoning. Fuck Pharma Corporations, they are nazis committing a holocaust through vaccines.

  • @CodexAlimentarius1

    grow a brain.

    mercury poisoning and autism are completely different. i know the criteria for both and there is nothing at all in common between them.

    the '(pseudo-)science' responsible for the propagation the belief that autism is caused by mercury has been demonstrated as having no validity or veracity.

    deal with it.

  • Wow, anybody who says asperger's, adhd, add, or any of those disorders aren't real is really retarded. How can you deny something that's been proven over and over again?

  • Comment removed

  • einstien was dyslexic This is the first time I heard of him being Autistic

  • @JohannaGotTalent41

    i was aware of it whilst reading a biography of him, whilst i was still an undergraduate at Leeds. was quite a shock, really.

  • adhd and add are not real

  • Zeolite powder cures asperger's syndrome, or atleast the paranoia and severe social anxiety.

  • @CodexAlimentarius1

    so the only language you speak fluently is bollocks?

    looks like it to me.

    zeolite.... if i didn't pity you so much, i'd laugh my arse off.

  • He had ADHD and dislexia to and autism does make you smart.

  • British morons. Keep getting your vaccines.

  • Comment removed

  • @MultiSnooty You're a week minded fool

  • au contraire my dear

  • Let it be very clear that this video is mere speculation. Nothing wrong with speculation. Nothing wrong with asperger, nothing wrong with Einstein. Most psychiatric conditions are spectrum disorders, which means that there is no border between 'normal' and 'diseased' but that there is a, usually very large, grey area, from exhibiting hints of a few slight symptoms, to full on deranged, handicaped crazyness.. Maybe Einstein was on the autism spectrum; it is very clear he was not an autist.

  • @Waranoa

    you need to read more on the children that Kanner originally described and how they progressed to know the extent to which you are wrong in saying this:

    "Maybe Einstein was on the autism spectrum; it is very clear he was not an autist."

    Even the logic of the statement is faulty.

  • @psychobollox

    I don't see how my statement is logically false. What's faulty about it.

    What Kanner describes about a bunch of other kids is not relevant in saying that Einstein was or was not an autist. You would take whatever you know of him and grab the DSM-IV and then you would know.

    According to DSM-IV, Einstein was not an autist as far as I can tell; his social interactions were not impaired so much as to be labeled autism. Autism SPECTRUM however...

  • @Waranoa

    "What Kanner describes about a bunch of other kids is not relevant in saying that Einstein was or was not an autist."

    Yes, it is. The developmental trajectories of many are very like Einstein's own. Means a lot in this context.

    "You would take whatever you know of him and grab the DSM-IV and then you would know."

    I did, and so did many others. DSM-III-R would say he was most likely autistic, and so will DSM-V when it comes out.

  • @Waranoa

    "According to DSM-IV, Einstein was not an autist as far as I can tell; his social interactions were not impaired so much as to be labeled autism. Autism SPECTRUM however."

    You are not trained in psychological diagnostics; I am. So is Simon Baron-Cohen. So are many others who, knowing how to read a developmental history properly, have seen that he fulfilled the criteria very well for autism. Secondly: the entire autism spectrum is - by definition - autism, which DSM-V recognises.

  • @psychobollox

    How do you know I am not a trained psychiatrist, and how do I know you ARE?. Einstein was very verbal and quite sociable. What is your reason to think he fits the diagnosis?

    And btw, your logic is faulty; autism is part of autism spectrum, not the other way around ;)

  • @Waranoa

    Firstly, I said psychologist, not psychiatrist. Learn to fucking read. Secondly, you give your age as 22: too young to be a trained psychologist. Especially in the Nederlanden.

    Think set theory: the autism spectrum is the set of all possible autistic states and F84.0, F84.1 and and F84.5 form the basis of this set of all possible autistic states. This means that everything on that set of autistic states is - by definition - autistic.

    Not very well educated, are you?

  • @Waranoa Indeed, being sociable absolutely disqualifies the notion that Einstein suffered from Aspergers, etc.

  • @TheJomogogo Asperger is not autism.

  • @Waranoa I was responding to some asshole's claim that he was sociable and therefore didn't fit in the category of asperger's which is true. I never said anything about autism, but if I had, aperger's is indeed considered a high functioning form of autism.

  • @drzdo INTP is Aspergers by another name, both apply to about 1% of the general population and have almost identical definition.

  • @Nuihc88

    INTJ is also pretty typical on the more communicative end of the spectrum. that's an anecdotal statement but i should love to find a way to assess the correlation between AS and the INTJ/P personality types, subject of course to the problem inherent in the test for types itself.

  • @psychobollox You are probably right. Most Aspies i know (+of) have been INTPs, so i have categorized INTJs as individuals who are simply missing certain AS characteristic, since no one i know of has every possible characteristic.

    There are indeed many problems in correlating personality types, with their extreme forms, as people tend to be diagnosed with one or the other based on how well they assimilate into society or how the psychiatrist perceives them to be fitting in.

  • @Nuihc88

    "Most Aspies i know (+of) have been INTPs, so i have categorized INTJs as individuals who are simply missing certain AS characteristic, since no one i know of has every possible characteristic."

    I'd say that has a slightly different expression of this way of being autistic, since the criteria give a number of possible ways of being autistic (on the basis of the possible number of combinations of the characteristics). Important issue in diagnosis. I once did the combinatorics on this.

  • @Nuihc88

    "people tend to be diagnosed with one or the other based on how well they assimilate into society or how the psychiatrist perceives them to be fitting in."

    Exactly, and this is an important thing to consider - this issue of actually fitting in and being perceived to be fitting in ... because there can be a huge difference between them.

  • Actually he sounds like he has all the classic symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome.

    It's on the autistic spectrum, but it's different from being simply "mildly autistic".

  • @jm2trash His language delay means, if he were alive today, he could not receive a diagnosis of Asperger's, by its current criteria. If he fitted the other autistic criteria he could only be diagnosed with High-Functioning Autism. Personally, as an Asperger myself, I think it does no end of harm to our standing, and hope for understanding, within the community, to propose someone may have been autistic (the ADD/ADHD community makes similar claims) when we have absolutely no way of proving it.

  • @jm2trash

    Actually because he had significant speech delay, he would probably have been diagnosed with high functioning autism, rather than asperger's which is basically autism with no speech delays.

  • @jm2trash He didn't speak as a child and aparently that's what the diffrence between HFA and AS is.

  • @jm2trash if you know german, youll hear that he sounds normal. He speaks with the Baden Würtenberg dialect. Usualy the aspergers people such as the well known pianist Glenn Gould tend to speak unnaturaly tense and precise. In german he never spoke tense. Sure he speaks very carefull, but its because he wants to make sure that he will be understand right. hes english is very tense. He has clearly difficulties to learn language. my father has a similar problem... my father is astrophysicist.

  • @jm2trash wrong he never had Aspergers or Autism.

  • Stfu people dont even know the man

  • i would give up 40 iq points to have less anxiety! anyone saying aspergers or related dissorders are a gift have no idea what its like to walk in our anxiety filled shoes...

  • get minerals buddy! MAGNESIUM, zinc, chromium... it makes a huge difference!

  • Syndrome is derogatory. Look at the traits that identify asp,watch the vid again, watch the vid on LewisCarroll and asp. Einstein,Dirac,Newton,so stupid is not a syn but being smart is, how daft Asp is. Look to the history of math wars in California, children of statisticians have a higher rate of asp. Educational pschobable-ist made that claim after their failed ed paradyms were exposed as junk in Cal by statisticians. Psycho reprisal is how Asp came to USA. Autism and the Nazis well duh.

  • Comment removed

  • scorpionsoulja - I agree. But TESLA didn't quite accomplish what he could have because corporate snakes hoodwinked him into signing away many millions in profits.

    These days it's a new twist - pump mercury into the brains of children to cause autism (buying off judges and politicians to help deny it), make lots of money doing it - then pretend it's OK cuz - ya know, hey - the kid might be an Einstein. To the corporate elite - we're nothing but cattle to be milked and culled.

  • Yeah right::: .->

    That would a pretty large conspiracy.

    BTW: There is no evidence for a link between mercury and autism. Mercury poisoning is pretty different.

  • he have the most awesome hair

  • Fairly convincing argument; a similar case could be made for the British physicist Paul Dirac.

  • if my child had austism i wouldnt worry

  • Is it dannykanoista.....

  • It's better to be happy than to be a genius.

  • its better to be a flawed genius than a perfect one

  • TESLA all the way he the ture genius

  • We are all different in our own way

    Could the spacetime continuum have symmetry and geometry? Newton believed Time was a thing in itself and connected to motion and Einstein believed there was something missing from quantum mechanics. In my video The Paradox of Schrodingers Cat an artist view it is Time that is the Hidden Variable.

  • yeah for unschooling Einstien
